By RC Fontis Partners
Posted: May 29, 2009

MAY 29, 2009 -Within the last 3 weeks, the new Zoria Farms underwent an extensive audit by AIB of our processing and packaging facility to ensure all food safety, cleaning practices, maintenance, etc. are in place and there remain no gaps. We are very proud to announce that we achieved a “Superior” rating as a direct result of our capital investments, programs and system enhancements, as well as our investment in our people here. The “Superior” rating is the highest rating given by AIB. 

About AIB 

AIB International is a corporation founded by the North American wholesale and retail baking industries in 1919 as a technology transfer center for bakers and food processors. The original mission of the organization was to \"put science to work for the baker,\" and that basic theme is still central to all of the programs, products, and services provided by AIB to baking and general food production industries worldwide. 

Although AIB\'s history has been traditionally linked with North American wholesale and retail baking, the Institute currently serves many segments of the food processing, distribution, foodservice, and retail industries worldwide. Today\'s AIB is well-positioned in the following areas: 

• Audit Services 

• Food Safety Education 

• School of Baking 

• Research and Technical Services 

 

AIB\'s staff includes experts in the fields of baking production; research related to experimental baking, cereal science, and nutrition; food safety and hygiene; occupational safety; and maintenance engineering. 

AIB is headquartered in Manhattan, Kansas, home of Kansas State University and one of the major centers for wheat and related grain product research and development in the entire world. The Institute works closely with local grain science and trade organizations, and maintains links and working relationships with many other food production and equipment, food safety, trade development, and food legislation groups and university food science research programs both in the United States and abroad. 

The AIB association currently has more than 900 members in many countries, ranging from international food ingredient and foodservice companies to small single-unit traditional and artisan retail bakeries.
