Quality & compliance
Certifications & standards
We partner exclusively with manufacturing facilities that meet international food safety and export compliance standards — so every shipment is backed by the certifications your market requires.
Manufacturing partner standards
What we require from every manufacturing partner
Before we work with a facility, it has to meet baseline international food-safety and export-compliance standards — these are the ones we screen for.
ISO 22000
Manufacturing partners are selected for a certified food safety management system — ISO 22000 or an equivalent recognized standard.
HACCP
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points protocols are a baseline requirement across every facility in our partner network.
Organic Certification
For product lines requiring organic-certified raw material, we source only through partners holding valid USDA Organic, EU Organic or an equivalent certification.
FDA Registration
For US-bound shipments, we work exclusively with FDA-registered facilities to meet FSVP and US import requirements.
Sustainability
Built on traceable, responsible sourcing
Quality and sustainability aren't separate goals for us — a supply chain we can trace back to the grower is also the one most likely to be consistent, season after season.
Traceable sourcing
Every lot is tracked back to its growing region and processing facility, so quality issues can be diagnosed at the source rather than guessed at downstream.
Grower & cooperative partnerships
Long-term relationships with the cooperatives and growers we buy from, built on fair, transparent pricing rather than one-off spot purchases.
Environmental stewardship
We prioritize manufacturing partners who invest in resource-efficient processing, reduced packaging waste, and responsible farming practices across their sourcing regions.
Quality & food safety
Lot-level testing and documented specifications before shipment, so what's approved is what arrives — see our certifications above and process page for detail.
