The company ensures to maintain a well-managed cold-chain due to the short shelf life of mushrooms and excellent rotation in stores. 

“By working closely with our partners, we try to strike the right balance of stocked shelves, but quick turnover to ensure freshness,” said Sean Steller, director of business development. “High quality, consistent supply, and laser-focus on customer service and support are secrets to success.” 

It also credits its success to investment in food safety and process improvement.
