Quality & Safety

We Take Away the Worry

Global Organics validates and confirms the integrity of our ingredients throughout the supply chain so you know the products you deliver to your customers are safe and of the highest quality.

Step-by-Step Scrutiny

• We use a meticulous process to select, approve and monitor our vendors and their ingredients.
• Quality starts at the top and for us that means our president, directors, and QA team traveling to the farms and facilities of our potential suppliers to see first-hand if environmental programs and labor practices meet the highest standards.
• We require third-party food safety audits and we make on-site visits and audit our suppliers ourselves on a continual basis.
• We regularly sample our ingredients in pre-shipment samples to validate quality. We run an annual analysis validation program and validate quality and organic integrity of our products using third-party accredited labs for our analysis.
• We audit our organic compliant distribution centers and we monitor our carriers to ensure that the product you receive meets all quality and food safety standards.
• We taste our products! We have a formally trained in-house sensory panel to verify product consistency and premium quality.

Certifications and Food Safety

The primary goal of our quality and safety program is to protect our customers by ensuring that our suppliers comply with all applicable certifications and regulations.
