Barhyte, Saucy Mama Receives Top Certification for Exceeding Food Safety Standards

26-May-2011 | News-Press Release

Barhyte Specialty Foods, creators of multiple lines of private label gourmet condiments – as well as Saucy Mama brand of marinades, mustards, dressings and sauces – today announced that it has received A-level certification from the British Retail Consortium (BRC.)

The family owned business, created more than three decades ago by Suzie “Saucy Mama” Barhyte and her husband Jan  out of their Pendleton, Oregon deli, has grown exponentially in recent years.  “It’s been a whirlwind watching our small company expand with such momentum,” Suzie says. “We knew that if we pursued BRC certification, we’d exceed its exacting standards and give our customers further assurance that we adhere to the industry’s best practices.”

Considered the “global standard for food safety,” BRC Certification is a model of standards that fit into what is otherwise known as the Global Food Safety Initiative, or GFSI, for consumer products.  The intensive audit process requires active participation from company representatives at all levels, ranging from senior management to production workers.   The process is designed to reduce to an acceptable level all risks to health from production, ingredients and packaging, to food quality and regulatory legality.

 

ABOUT BARHYTE SPECIALTY FOODS

Barhyte Specialty Foods, based out of Pendleton, Oregon, has roots dating back 200 years and 6,000 miles away in Germany, where Jacobus Barhyte first created a sweet-and-sour mustard that he brought to the US.  Many generations later, Jan and Susan Barhyte began selling mustard from the original recipe, as well as other signature creations, through their Swift and Martin Station Deli.  Thanks to overwhelming demand, the family launched their own manufacturing operation in 1977. Today, the BRC (British Retail Consortium)-certified company offers more than 65 award-winning mustards, marinades, sauces, and other condiments through the Barhyte Specialty Foods and the Saucy Mama brand, as well as through co-branded and private label relationships.
