How does Sunkist control the quality of its products?
Quality control is first a matter of written rules and regulations to which all Sunkist-affiliated packinghouses and manufacturers strictly adhere. Staff inspectors make daily visits to packinghouses and destination wholesalers and retailers to make sure the regulations are followed. Manufacturers producing Sunkist packaged products all employ standardized quality control programs and are visited regularly by Sunkist technical staff. Within the packinghouses and distribution structure, the quality control system has been one of the strongest elements in Sunkist’s successful one hundred-plus year history. Consumers know they can depend on the quality of fruit bearing the Sunkist brand sticker or any packaged product bearing the Sunkist name. Produce buyers and retailers everywhere know the selling value of that quality.
