SAFETY AND QUALITY
“The order we are working on today may feed the cow or chicken that your family consumes tomorrow. It’s a point I make to our staff on a regular basis. Feed safety affects us all.”

FULLY DEDICATED TO FOOD SAFETY
Pinnacle is one of only three premixing facilities in the U.S to acquire SQF Certification.
What is SQF Certification, and why is it important?
SQF is a system of multi‐level food safety and quality standards, benchmarked to the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI).
SQF certification is earned by pre‐ or post‐farmgate operations that have met one of the world’s most comprehensive food safety standards. Certified SQF operations maintain a documented, HACCP‐based (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) Integrated Food Safety and Quality Management System that can be tracked throughout the supply chain.
Organic Formulations
Pinnacle is committed to meeting the increased demand for organic formulations, and to mastering the knowledge and practices required to serve this sector of the industry. Our operations in California are CCOF-certified (California Certified Organic Farmers) for the handling of organic products. We will continue to anticipate, adapt, and grow to meet our customer’s needs.
We Hold Our Suppliers to Our Same Standards
We require that our suppliers comply with SQF certified safety guidelines. Food safety is imperative, and our suppliers must mirror our dedication to supplying customers with safe, high-quality feed ingredients and premixes.
Pinnacle requires the following from its suppliers:
- The supplier must have an exceptional track record and a solid reputation within the feed industry.
- The supplier’s products must meet nutritional specifications and performance goals in the animals.
- The supplier must provide good customer service and support.
- The supplier’s products must arrive at Pinnacle’s plants on time and in good condition.
