Quality Assurance

Quality ingredients begin with pure raw materials. NP Nutra’s R&D team sources the most potent ingredients from all corners of the globe. Our Triple-T Verification^® Program validates the integrity of our ingredient supply chain. Each of our manufacturing partners has passed a strict Vendor Qualification Program, and we work closely with them to verify traceability.

The majority of our raw materials are processed at GFSI- and ISO-certified, state-of-the-art manufacturing partner facilities located around the world.

Our approved manufacturing partner facilities typically hold one or more of the following certifications:

PREVENTATIVE CONTROL PLAN

To ensure that our products meet the highest standards of quality and sustainability, NP Nutra^® has implemented a fully integrated quality control system. Our Preventive Control Plan is monitored by a certified PCQI (Preventive Control Qualified Individual) and consists of four cohesive programs:

Process Preventive Control
Allergen Preventive Control
Sanitation Preventive Control
Supply-Chain Preventive Control

QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEM

In addition, NP Nutra’s Triple-T Verification^® Program includes a comprehensive Quality Control System with complete policies, procedures, and prerequisite programs that guarantee safety and compliance with all regulations.

Organoleptic properties
Pesticides (USP)
Heavy metals (ICP-MS)
Microbials (AOAC/USP)

At every step of the process,
NP Nutra^® is committed to perfection.

Stringent in-house quality control and third-party validation guarantee safety, regulatory compliance, and consistent conformance to our quality standards.

Over 75 known pesticides (USP)
Heavy metals (ICP-MS), including cadmium, lead, mercury, and arsenic
Microbials (AOAC/USP), including mold, E. coli, and Staphylococcus
GMOs, Loss on Drying, Ash, and other tests as needed

Trust.

Purity, potency, and quality remain the benchmarks of our company.

Every NP Nutra manufacturing partner has passed a strict Vendor Qualification Program, which includes interviews, assessments, and audits of manufacturing facilities to ensure our high product specifications are met.

The majority of our partner facilities have attained GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) certification. Under GFSI, accredited third-party schemes such as BRC (British Retail Consortium), SQF (Safe Quality Food), and FSSC (Food Safety System Certification) provide comprehensive guidance at every step of the supply chain.

Supporting Organic & Non-GMO

Consumer demand for organic products has grown exponentially over the past decades. Since the 1990s, organic product sales have increased by double digits almost every year. According to the Organic Trade Association (OTA), organic sales rose from $3.6 billion in 1997 to $43.3 billion in 2015, up 11% from the previous year.¹

Consumers choose organic products for a variety of reasons. Some are concerned about potential health implications related to pesticide use and genetically modified organisms (GMOs), while others focus on the environmental impacts of conventional agricultural methods. Many simply believe that organic is the healthiest option.

Organic products are available in nearly 20,000 natural food stores and nearly three out of four conventional grocery stores.²

Growing consumer interest is driven by a desire for transparency, with more shoppers asking where their ingredients come from and seeking organic standards they can trust. Ongoing research on the environmental, health, and economic benefits of organic practices continues to fuel this demand.

NP Nutra^® recognizes our role in environmental stewardship and fulfills our responsibilities to farmers, workers, customers, and the planet by supporting and encouraging sustainable practices at every stage of the supply chain. By law, all certified organic ingredients are automatically non-GMO. We work closely with our approved manufacturing partners to verify traceability and promote sustainable growing and harvesting practices. NP Nutra also strives to make all of our ingredients non-GMO and Kosher certified.

Through our Nutra Organics line, NP Nutra offers a wide selection of certified organic ingredients, with more than 80 unique ingredients currently available and additional options to be added in the near future. Our best-sellers include Acai, Acerola, Amla, Cocoa, Guarana, Lucuma, Mangosteen, Noni, Pomegranate, Spirulina, and Yacon.
