HACCP COMPLIANT

 

As a proactive food business, PDL ensures its facility complies with local and international standard operating procedures daily. Annually, PDL undergoes rigorous external warehouse and distribution audits, including verification of our HACCP program, by 3 separate external entities; YUM! Brands, Restaurant Brands International (RBI), and Avendra International. 

Ensuring that the organization is HACCP compliant in its food safety and policy procedures, our stakeholders align to meet the needs of the highest standards available. Our partners can be assured that this practice is key to our ongoing commitment to quality, bringing peace of mind to their future business goals and product offerings.

Optimize Procurement Strategies

AVENDRA APPROVED SUPPLIER

 

As an Avendra appointed supplier, our customers can be assured that our procurement and supply chain management practices match those prescribed by the Avendra Standards of excellence.

 

Avendra supplies relevant information to optimize procurement strategies, which help control costs and increase profitability for both suppliers and customers.

 

Improvement inefficiencies for the customer mean improvements for suppliers. By eliminating the burden of negotiating controls and managing suppliers, Avendra provides pre-negotiated best practice contracts, allowing for PDL to focus on building relationships and consultive selling to our customers.

 

Improvements in controls mean suppliers go through rigorous approval processes before they become part of the Avendra network. PDL’s ongoing success with the annual audits indicates the company’s integrity as part of the entire network.
