A big accomplishment for our FSQA team! 👏
Earlier this week, representatives from USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) visited Central Valley Meat to provide training on the upcoming Ground Beef Guardian (GBG) Program, a nationwide initiative set for full implementation in February 2027.
CVM is proud to have been selected to participate in the program’s pilot phase. As part of the certification process, our team completed an 80-question technical exam, and all three passed on their first attempt!
Congratulations to Makenzie Flach, Andrea Leon, and Jacob Flores!
A special shoutout to Makenzie, our FSQA Manager, who earned the highest exam score recorded by the USDA AMS team to date, officially making her our “High Roller!”
We’re proud of our team and their continued commitment to food safety and quality!
