Food Safety And Quality Policy

Quality is Part of Our Everyday Routine

It is the way we work, the way we do business and why we take pride in what we do. By emphasizing a shared value we can all act on, we create a strong sense of “us.” We believe in the ideal that we’re only as good as the level of quality we provide, so we never sacrifice quality for production output.

Through our proven internal processes and procedures, we have demonstrated our ability to consistently provide quality weight loss products that meet and exceed regulatory and FDA requirements from the receipt of raw materials, through the production process, and finally into the finished product package.

We believe:

1. Small changes make big differences.
2. We must all WANT to improve.
3. We must have confidence in one another to make progress.
