What were we up to last month?

September 2025

September's Brocc Star!

We’re proud to spotlight our Assistant Supervisor, Maria, for her outstanding leadership on the production floor. Maria plays a key role in keeping operations running smoothly by focusing on product quality and employee safety. She’s quick to notice when something isn’t right and isn’t afraid to speak up, helping prevent accidents and ensuring standards are met every day. Her dedication to both people and product makes a lasting impact on our team, and we’re grateful for the integrity and care she brings to her role.

Celebrating Food Safety and National Fruit and Vegetable Month

September was a fun month at DNO! Not only did we celebrate Food Safety Education Month, but it was also National Fruit and Vegetable Month! Our amazing Food Safety Department designed creative, food-safety-themed coloring pages for employees to share with their kids, turning learning into a colorful activity. Those pages are now brightening the walls of our facility! Meanwhile, to honor all things produce, our team put their taste buds to the test in a blind fruit and veggie challenge to prove that fresh produce isn’t just healthy but fun!
