Roger Wood Foods is an Roger Wood returned home to Savannah, GA from military service during World War I in 1920. He joined the Cudahy Packing Company and quickly worked his way up to local manager of the Savannah branch. Driven by his entrepreneurial spirit, Wood along with others decided to form their own meat packing company in 1936 and called it Wood-Robbins Sausage. World War II interrupted Roger Wood’s first endeavor temporarily. After the war, Wood restarted the company’s operations as sole owner and named it Roger Wood Packing Company. Shortly following, his son-in-law, Joseph M. Solana Jr., joined him in the business and began to build its progressing legacy in the Southeast. Making Bologna 50’s Style In the late 70’s Solana’s sons came into the family business and still operate the company in Savannah, Georgia. Today’s consumers are more educated about the food they’re providing their families and requiring more information about food quality. One link in the food chain does not get rattled without it affecting the next link. Customers expect more from their retailers and food service providers, who in turn expect more from their suppliers. Heightened consumer demand for increased food safety assurances moves down the chain with retailers and service providers asking suppliers to provide verifiable proof that robust food safety control systems have been effectively implemented. These systems must have been properly validated and show evidence of continuous monitoring procedures. This is where the Safe Quality Food (SQF) Program comes in. SQF is recognized by retailers and foodservice providers around the world who require a rigorous, credible food safety management system. Using the SQF certification program will help reduce assessment inconsistencies and costs of multiple assessment standards. The SQF Program is recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and links primary production certification to food manufacturing, distribution and agent/broker management certification.
