Last month, Efco Products hosted approximately 34 students of the Culinary Institute of America, who are currently enrolled in a Global Food Systems Class. The Efco team described its custom development work for both national as well as certain international markets and how the company has quickly responded with product line additions that meet these markets’ demands. Additionally, the presentation covered the impact that weather plays on Efco’s agriculturally based key ingredients, from the seed of a crop to the end product, and how it can affect the whole supply chain. Efco was proud to host this group of promising chefs in training from the CIA’s main campus in nearby Hyde Park, NY.

On October 6, 2009, ASI Food Safety Consultants conducted their annual audit at Efco Products Inc., located in Poughkeepsie New York.

The manufacturers of bakery mixes, fruit fillings, and toppings received an “excellent” rating of 98.29%. This combined with their past ratings of 95% or above, has earned them a “superior” ranking which is the highest distinction a company may receive from this organization.

The full day audit consisted of the inspection of their HACCP, Sanitation/Pest Control, Food Security, Allergens, GMP’s (Good Manufacturing Practices), and Traceability/Recall. According to ASI’s website, “ASI audits are more than just inspections. They are learning tools that ensure food safety in your facility preventing costly and publicized mistakes.” Any deficiencies found during an audit are quickly addressed by Efco. An aggressive corrective action is implemented to discover the root causes, and incorporate appropriate preventative measures.
