Manufacturing is a major contributor to global warming and food manufacturers are not exempt from this. While we take great pride in manufacturing the finest, safest and most nutritious, value driven products possible, we take an equal measure of pride in doing absolutely everything in our power to minimize the amount of greenhouse gasses our organization.
Our efforts at Apple Valley Foods Canada and also at Apple Valley Foods US include investment in new more efficient equipment, responsible emission management, the use of state of the art technology to manage, measure and control byproducts from the manufacturing process. Both our Apple Valley Foods Canadian and American teams understand that investing in equipment isn’t enough.
It is important for every one of our Food Manufacturing professionals to understand the importance of minimizing Greenhouse gasses, receive proper compliance training and education of the importance of achieving cleaner manufacturing with our employees, partners and vendors.

September’s Professional Spotlight
Apple Valley Foods US is part of the Harlan Foods’ family of companies. Together, we provide more than 2 in 10 Americans with the food products they love to enjoy at mealtime and get-togethers each week.
Harlan Foods success comes from a reputation for quality, consistency and innovation. Our mission pillars are what we, as Food Manufacturing Professionals, live by each day.
Integrity, Quality and Customer Service.
However, our reputation and our ability to live up to the quality standards our customers expect is driven by one thing. Our people.
Harlan Foods, and Apple Valley Foods US believe in promoting from within. Why is this so important to us?
It is simple. Employees who have been with our company for an extended period are committed to being a professional. They have gained the knowledge, skills, know how, as well as, the critical training and Professional Certifications necessary for Harlan Foods and Apple Valley Foods US to deliver the very best. One product at a time.
Most of our senior production team leaders have worked their way up from entry level positions. And, many of them have risen through the ranks in a very short period of time.
Take Ana. She is the focus of September’s Professional Spotlight. Four years ago, Ana was a brand new employee, who spoke no English. She was shy and reserved. She was an entry level production employee with no prior food manufacturing experience and no leadership training or experience.
These facts didn’t hold Ana back. Instead, they motivated her! In four years, Ana has mastered English, has received four promotions and pay raises. She is a S.A.F.E. (Standards Based, Accountability Driven, Food Excellence) Certified Food Professional, and Ana now leads an entire shift at one of our state of the art food manufacturing facilities.
Ana is now responsible for the production of every single product and every single production employee during that shift! And, if you ask Ana, she is just getting started!
