We were among the first in the industry to wash and sanitize our watermelons to reduce the risk of contamination from food borne pathogens. We are proud of our superior four star rating under the Primus scoring system.
To achieve this level of compliance each step in the supply chain, every farm, harvest crew, cooler and packing facility must be audited by Primus Labs at least once per year, with no critical violations noted. There is no substitute for quality, and at Borders Melon Company, you can rest assured “food safety” is an inherent element in our definition of “quality”. Simply the best – Borders Premium Watermelons.
Food safety and quality are our number one priorities at Borders Melon Company.
All of our watermelons are washed (with potable non-recycled water), gently scrubbed, and then sanitized with a patented antimicrobial called Selectrocide™.
Selectrocide™ is EPA registered for use on watermelons and is also used in the wine, pharmaceutical, and produce processing industries, with efficacy against a broad spectrum of pathogens.
We were the first in the watermelon industry to use this product and were instrumental in establishing SelectrocideTM as a produce sanitizer.
We devote all of our experience and efforts to produce the best.
