Our goal is to provide our business partners with the best evidence-based, multispecies probiotic formulations, so we can improve the quality of life for as many people as possible around the world.
For us, quality is about precision and excellence in every aspect of production. Our commitment extends beyond product development. We are committed to ensure that our formulations reach end-users in their most effective form. Rigorous analysis is at the heart of our process, conducted meticulously from product development to production and up to the end of shelf life.
Producing effective, high-quality probiotics requires expert knowledge combined with a precise and thorough work ethic, at every step of the production chain, and an unwavering commitment to food safety. We make sure we provide our partners and users the highest quality standards from start to finish, provided with state-of-the-art quality controls and manufacturing in our certified facilities. This enables us to maintain complete control of all the critical development steps, ranging from strain selection to the manufacturing and packaging of the final product. We fully comply to ISO food safety standards by being ISO 22000-certified.
What is ISO 22000 Certification?
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) develops and publishes quality standards for various industries to ensure structured, high-quality processes that promote products and services to be safe, reliable, and of good quality. ISO certification is a mark of excellence that demonstrates a company’s commitment to maintaining high standards in its operations and ensuring consistent quality in its products and services.
ISO 22000 certification is an internationally recognized standard for food safety management systems (FSMS). It ensures that organizations involved in the food supply chain — from production to distribution — maintain strict safety and quality measures to prevent foodborne hazards. It forms the basis for an international ISO food safety certificate and applies to the entire agro-food chain. ISO 22000 is based on HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) on one hand and management principles on systems, processes and communication according to ISO on the other hand. ISO certification verifies that the audited facility is compliant to food safety and food defense rules. Food defense rules protect businesses and consumer against internal and external potential threads, from relatively common tamper hoaxes to less probable terrorist attacks.
ISO 22000 and our quality goals
Having ISO 22000 certification is not just a “stamp of approval” for us; it is a commitment to high quality. We see this certification as a proof of our dedication to excellence in everything we do. It demonstrates our commitment to maintaining the highest standards in probiotic formulation, production, and business processes. By adhering to the stringent standards set by ISO, we can guarantee that our probiotics are produced under controlled conditions, minimizing the risk of contamination and ensuring their effectiveness.
Ongoing re-certification
We have upheld ISO 22000 certification for many years, demonstrating our commitment to food safety. Last year, we obtained ISO 22000 certification for our brand-new state-of-the-art production facilities. Last December, we were successfully audited and re-certified. Re-certification is a yearly ongoing process. It involves a thorough assessment of our operations, including our quality control measures, production processes, and documentation practices. The ISO 22000 certification ensures that we have effective processes in place to manage food safety hazards and ensure the safety of our products.
Improving our processes
By regularly reviewing and optimizing our production processes and quality control to our high quality standards, we can maintain our competitive edge. This commitment to continuous improvement and maintaining the highest quality ensures that we are always striving to enhance the quality of our products and services. ISO 22000 certification serves as a measuring tool to check whether the requirements are met. Last December’s successful ISO 22000 audit serves as the proof of our ongoing improvement.
Comply to regulatory requirements
ISO 22000 certification is also a proof of streamlined processes and documentation, reducing the risk of food safety incidents and helping to comply with regulatory requirements. Streamlined processes and standardized documentation ensure that action can be taken quickly if something goes wrong. This is particularly important in the highly regulated food industry, where compliance with safety standards is essential.
