At NSI, our mission is simple yet ambitious: to "Make Sustainable Foods Available to All." As a player in the private label food industry, we know that food safety is the foundation of trust. That’s why we’ve built our business around rigorous quality standards, advanced certifications, and proactive measures that go above and beyond industry norms. Here’s a closer look at how NSI continues to raise the bar in delivering safe and reliable health foods to consumers and retailers alike.   Rigorous Quality Standards & Transparent Sourcing At NSI, food safety starts at the source. Our supply chain is GFSI-compliant, adhering to globally recognized standards like BRC and SQF, which represent the gold standard in food safety practices. These rigorous protocols guide every step of our operations, from sourcing to packaging, guaranteeing safe private label foods.  We take pride in our comprehensive traceability practices. By working directly with farms and factories, we cut out middlemen and ensure complete transparency. This direct sourcing model allows us to monitor every ingredient's journey, from the fields where it’s grown to the final packaging. It’s not just about controlling costs; it’s about providing our customers with unmatched visibility into where their food comes from. With the help of advanced technology and strong partnerships, we’ve built a supply chain that delivers both value and peace of mind.   Certifications That Build Trust Certifications are more than just labels; they’re a testament to our commitment to quality and safety. NSI proudly holds an array of certifications, including USDA Organic, Non-GMO, Kosher, and the esteemed ROC (Regenerative Organic Certification). Each of these certifications underscores our dedication to providing safe, ethical, and sustainable products. The ROC certification, in particular, sets NSI apart as a pioneer in the private label sector. As one of the first U.S. companies to achieve this certification, we’re helping to lead a movement that goes beyond organic standards. ROC promotes practices that rebuild soil health, capture carbon from the atmosphere, conserve water, and limit emissions. It’s an investment in the planet’s future, and we’re proud to be at the forefront of this critical initiative.   Preventive Measures At NSI, we believe in prevention as the best defense against food safety risks. That’s why we implement robust testing protocols tailored to the unique vulnerabilities of each product. For items like chia, flax, and turmeric, we conduct extensive testing for pathogens such as E. coli, salmonella, listeria, and staph, as well as pesticides, heavy metals, and other contaminants. By spending generously on testing, we ensure that every product meets our stringent quality standards. We’ve also developed and continually improved our hold-and-release procedures, which prevent products from reaching the market until they’ve been thoroughly vetted. These measures are supported by our on-site presence at supplier facilities. By working directly with our suppliers, we ensure they follow the high standards we’ve developed in collaboration with the best minds in the food safety industry. These hands-on efforts create a culture of accountability and excellence across our entire supply chain.  A Commitment to Excellence Food safety is not a one-time achievement; it’s an ongoing commitment. At NSI, we’re always looking for ways to enhance our practices, from adopting new technologies to collaborating with industry leaders. This dedication to continuous improvement reflects our promise to deliver safe, high-quality, and "better-for-you" products that consumers can trust.
