At ILLES Foods we're all about providing the highest quality culinary solutions to our customers and to the end consumers. With an unwavering dedication to maintaining top standards in food safety and quality and to making our facilities audit-ready at all times, we are proud to have achieved a BRC (British Retail Consortium) Food Safety AA+ rating, the highest accolade possible, in an unannounced audit for both of our facilities. "This achievement is a clear demonstration of the hard work and dedication of our team to implementing the highest standards" says Kari Sweeney, VP of Food Safety, Quality and Regulatory at ILLES Foods. "Our knowledgeable and detail-oriented Compliance Manager Quyen Makarwich, M.S was instrumental in leading the application of all BCRGS standards needed for the certification, but every ILLES partner played a vital role in earning this AA+ rating. Without everybody's commitment and hard work, this result wouldn't have been possible." #illesfoods #experienceilles #BRC #BRCcertified #foodsafety #foodmanufacturing #teameffort #celebrate #quality #trustedsupplier #BRCGSfood #qualityassurance #FSQR #foodproduction #foodplant

From its Galveston, Texas, origin in 1865, Juneteenth has become not only a time to commemorate Black liberation from the institution of slavery, but also a time to highlight the resilience, solidarity and culture of the Black community. At ILLES Foods we strive to honor and support the diversity of our team. Employees from different backgrounds have different skills and perspectives that only make us stronger together.   There are many ways we can observe and celebrate this holiday, from supporting Black businesses to educating ourselves. Let's use our voice and actions to spread love, respect, and kindness. #juneteenth #happyjuneteenth #illesfoods #experienceilles #juneteenthcelebration #juneteenth2024 #freedom #diversity #equality #inclusion
