Process discipline
Line changeover checklists are photographed, signed and stored with the work order so night shift matches day shift.

Co-pack built for repeat SKUs
Red Barn Co-Packing keeps tooling, recipes and programs on file so your second run does not start from zero. Every recipe tweak and CCP check is signed before the line runs.
Quality paperwork
HACCP monitoring sheets, retain pouches and metal-check logs reference your lot code before release.
Honest capacity
When the cooker line is full we say so and propose partial pallet shipments instead of slipping dates quietly.

Questions from co-pack buyers
Can we audit the site?
Yes. Book a plant visit and we will walk the processing line that would run your SKU recipe.
Will you sign our food safety agreement?
We review and sign customer food safety agreements when HACCP and allergen clauses align.
How do you control recipe changes?
Recipe changes are logged, line staff retrained and no batch starts until food safety approves the revision.
