A HIGHER STANDARD OF QUALITY ASSURANCE
We have an extensive sampling program for our finished goods, and test at an independent third-party laboratory to make sure every batch is free and clear of pathogens, such as E. coli, salmonella, and listeria. The laboratory also checks numerous other food safety and quality indicators.
Our strict Test, Hold and Release Program means no finished goods are released into distribution until the test results come back.
We also conduct routine laboratory tests to ensure our foods meet the correct nutritional profiles, including vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
At the end of the day, human grade is a standard, not a slogan, and we’re incredibly proud to offer products that are meaningfully different from almost everything else in the industry.
