Quality Assurance
Rigorous Standards at Every Step
GFSI-Compliant Manufacturing Partners
We work exclusively with manufacturing partners that are certified to Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI)–recognized food safety schemes, ensuring the highest standards of food safety, quality, and regulatory compliance across our supply chain.
Our partner network includes facilities certified under the following internationally recognized programs:
- IFS (International Featured Standards) - Ensuring consistent food safety, quality, and operational standards across global food manufacturing facilities.
- BRCGS (Brand Reputation through Compliance Global Standards) - Meeting rigorous, globally benchmarked food safety and quality requirements, widely recognized by retailers and brand owners worldwide.
- GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) - All partners operate under robust GMP programs, providing the foundational hygiene, production, and quality controls required for certified food manufacturing environments.
Robust Quality Control & Testing
Every product we develop undergoes comprehensive testing at multiple stages of production to ensure safety, purity, and nutritional accuracy:
- Incoming Material Testing - Verification of all raw materials against specifications
- In-Process Quality Checks - Monitoring throughout production
- Finished Product Analysis - Complete nutritional and microbiological testing
- Stability Testing - Ensuring product integrity throughout shelf life
Batch-to-Batch Consistency
We understand that consistency is critical for our commercial sales and industrial sales partners. Our quality systems ensure every batch meets exact specifications:
- Standardized Formulations - Precise ingredient ratios and processing parameters
- Statistical Process Control - Real-time monitoring of critical quality attributes
- Certificate of Analysis (COA) - Detailed documentation for every production lot
- Retention Samples - Archived samples for traceability and reference
