Certified Quality Systems

AlaTrade maintains formal quality programs for commercial poultry buyers with strict supplier approval requirements. BRCGS certification, AMS certification, and active USDA Process Verification Programs provide documentation for audits, purchasing reviews, and customer compliance needs. These standards give foodservice, retail, chain, and manufacturing accounts a clearer basis for approving AlaTrade as a poultry processor.

Inspection & Grading

Inspection and Grading

On-site USDA inspection works alongside internal quality checks during production. X-ray and metal detection systems screen poultry for foreign material on the line. We have a USDA Resident Grader on-site at our Boaz, Alabama plant to verify that outgoing poultry meets Grade A standards.

Frequently Asked Questions About Packaging & Formats

Can AlaTrade provide documentation for customer approval?

Yes, AlaTrade can provide quality and verification records for supplier approval and customer compliance files. The available documentation depends on the product, facility, and order requirements.

How does USDA grading differ from inspection?

USDA inspection focuses on food safety oversight during poultry processing. USDA grading confirms product grade, and AlaTrade has a USDA Resident Grader on-site at our Boaz, Alabama plant to verify that outgoing poultry meets Grade A standards.

Do QA checks apply across different services?

Yes, quality checks apply as chicken moves through deboning, marination, dicing, portioning, and value-added preparation. X-ray and metal detection systems screen poultry during production.

Which products can carry verified claims?

Verified claims depend on the product and program. Customers can confirm which USDA Process Verified claims apply before finalizing order details.

How should buyers confirm special requirements?

Buyers should share labeling, grading, and documentation needs before production details are finalized. AlaTrade can review those requirements against the product, facility, and order.
