Pecan Quality Management
Stahmann Farms operates two onsite laboratories: a microbiological laboratory, which tests each product batch for compliance with all legislative and customer standards, and the Stahmann Farms Quality Assurance Laboratory. Continuous sampling during processing and at finished product stages by this laboratory ensures that the stringent parameters of international quality standards - along with the individual grower or owner's specifications - are achieved.
Stahmann Farms' quality system oversees regular washing, cleaning and maintenance programs on all processing facilities to reduce risks of cross-contamination, and to ensure the greatest efficiency and availability of the plant to process 24 hours a day. Additionally, Stahmann Farms' employs a rigorous competency-based assessment system for all staff to ensure that their skills remain current and in line with the latest industry developments.
Pecan Services provided:
- Hand Crack-outs carried out on every batch of nut-in-shell after drying provide an accurate indication of the product's standard and expected yields.
- Nut-in-shell moisture is determined by drying in a hot air oven, and kernel moisture by using a vacuum oven.
