About Me
- David Rosenthal
- The Responsible Source is a blog devoted to the responsible sourcing of nuts and other imported agricultural commodities. It is the "Newsroom" for Commodity Concern Certification LLC. Click on the images above to learn more. David Rosenthal, the creator of the CCC, is a 19 year veteran of the imported food industry and a long time advocate of food safety and responsible sourcing. He developed the concept of commodity specific certification after finding out that the food safety status of several companies overseas (with widely recognized certifications) was questionable. Today, more than ever food safety is a primary concern for consumers and retailers alike. The FDA has acknowledged that it lacks the resources to effectively monitor overseas processing facilities. For this reason self monitoring through agencies like the CCC will become an invaluable and necessary component of the importing process.
As a European and with some twenty-five years experience in dried fruit and nuts I can say David well done you've got it absolutely right. Being proactive in matters of quality are right in every way. Our industry must look to implimenting, maintaining and where possible improving systems that ensure safe and sustainable products. Operating these types of systems properly will give consumers more confidence and as a 'track record' of compliance is developed you will see your costs deminish and bottom lines improve.
