Topping Pieces (5001-030)

CWS is a producer of walnuts, a known allergen. Although CWS processes only walnuts, the following guidelines have been created to prevent cross-contamination of other allergens. • CWS is a Peanut Free Facility. Although our facility has always been dedicated to processing exclusively walnuts, we acknowledge that allergens are a serious concern for our customers and consumers, and have further reduced the risk of cross-contamination by prohibiting peanuts or peanut products from entering our lunchrooms or any other part of our facility. • Allergen awareness training is provided during new hire orientation and on an annual basis for current and returning employees. • Contractors and vendors, who visit our facility, are notified of our Good Manufacturing Practices and Allergen Awareness. • Employees can store and eat food in the designated break room only. The break room is separate from the production areas. • Employees are trained to wash their hands thoroughly before returning to work • Hullers, dryers, and trucking companies are contacted prior to harvest to provide resources and recommendations for processing raw products safely and without cross-contamination. Food allergens are potentially life-threatening, and through successful allergen management, training, and awareness, CWS continues to monitor and eliminate the risk of allergen cross-contamination.
