We Know What We’re Doing

We don’t bring it up too often, but we think it’s important for our customers to know that we are indeed licensed food processors in compliance with all the relevant requirements of Washington state.

I actually really enjoyed applying for the license – well, the application itself is pretty long and detailed, so maybe what I mean is I enjoyed meeting with the WA Department of Agriculture inspector last fall. In my experience, the WSDA wants small businesses like This Charming Candy to be successful, and as such they are very friendly and generous with advice to help us improve our processes and practices wherever possible.

So when received our renewed license earlier this month, we figured we’d scan it in. Being approved for the license affirms that both the processes we use in the kitchen and the facility itself have been approved by the state’s inspectors.

How do you feel about buying food over the internet from small businesses like ours? Have you ever asked an online food business whether they’ve got all the relevant licenses from their state and local governments? Do you want to know more about ours?
