Del Rey Avocado

Del Rey Avocado has supported the avocado industry in creating and using the Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and Good Harvesting Practices (GHP) programs to ensure that food safety remains a priority in the avocado industry. The GAP program seeks to identify all potential sources of food contaminants that may exist on an avocado ranch. The program is designed to give growers the tools they need to control and monitor any potential contamination sources commonly found in groves. When growing and harvesting food, there is always a potential for food safety issues. Del Rey Avocado works with growers, using the GAP program, to manage these issues. If you are a grower, please contact our GAP representative, Gerardo Huerta, to find out how we can support your own certification.
