About Pecan Deluxe
Pecan Deluxe is and always has been a family-owned business. The founder’s pioneering spirit continues to guide the company’s ongoing success. Pecan Deluxe started as an ice cream shop but decided in 1960 to branch out and began selling their innovative ingredients to other food companies. Now Pecan Deluxe is a massive player in the inclusions, candy, and confections industry.
Though their business has changed quite a lot over the years they have always cared about quality. Pecan Deluxe is the perfect example of a business with a food safety culture. From ownership to production, everyone at Pecan Deluxe cares about hygiene and food safety. Food Safety & Quality Assurance experts work collaboratively to ensure the safety and quality of all Pecan Deluxe products. They do this with strict adherence to program standards for Supply Chain, Plant Processing, and Product Verification.
Pecan Deluxe ensures food safety by automating hygiene processes with CleanTech®
In 2002, Pecan Deluxe Candy Company and Meritech partnered to improve food safety practices. Pecan Deluxe has several classic Meritech handwashing stations, and this year added a new EVO Three and EVO One to their arsenal of automated hygiene equipment. After seeing the success of automated handwashing Pecan Deluxe decided to implement an automated boot scrubber and boot dip that attaches to the handwashing units for simultaneous hand and footwear hygiene in 12 seconds.
CleanTech® has been the perfect solution to Pecan Deluxe's hygiene needs. It even helped them earn the 2021 Food Quality & Safety Award for large businesses. This award is a testament to the level of commitment Pecan Deluxe makes on daily basis to achieve the highest levels of food safety.
CleanTech® Helps Pecan Deluxe Candy Company Reach their Hand Hygiene Goals for Food Safety
Installation of the CleanTech® Automated Handwashing Station at Pecan Deluxe's production facility in Dallas, TX helped them ensure hand hygiene protocols and lead with the highest level of quality control and food safety at their facility.
