At Borders Melons East, our philosophy is simple. We strive to give our customers the finest quality watermelons available, grown and packed under the most stringent food safety guidelines and the utmost regard for customer service.
Food safety and quality are our number one priorities at Borders Melons East. We became one of the pioneering companies in food safety, in the watermelon industry, by having all facets of our operation tested and certified safe by Primus Laboratories to ensure an end product 100% safe for the consumer. 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. Borders Melons East was the first watermelon facility in the state of Georgia to be both Primus and Georgia GAP certified.
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.
