ChefPax documents

Indoor production
Clean gloves during harvest handling
Sanitized harvest tools and work surfaces
Sow-date records
Visual inspection before preparation
Direct local handling
A Texas Food Handler certificate

These documented practices support transparency. They do not establish that any fresh produce is risk-free, and government guidance does not constitute government validation of ChefPax.

Claims we do not make

ChefPax does not claim that indoor or local production eliminates contamination pathways. We do not publish claims of regular water testing, universal refrigeration or cold-chain control, or blanket regulatory compliance unless the specific practice and its records have been separately verified.

Three sources, three voices

FDA states regulatory, recall, outbreak, and grower-guidance facts. CDC recommends public-health and consumer-handling guidance. ChefPax documents its own practices and records. One voice never implies validation of another.
