MFC packed citrus is as safe as the citrus packed by any commercial operation, anywhere in the world. All MFC growers must manage their orchards in strict compliance with a detailed Citrus Orchard Protocol. This protocol details “world’s best citrus growing practice” and lists the chemical type / rate / timing that is to be applied. The Citrus Orchard Protocol is MFC’s approved supplier program and is a key component of our HACCP based quality management system, SQF 2000.
