What is a Food Manufacturer?
When looking into creating and manufacturing your product, you want the best information to make decisions for your production. But what is a food manufacturer? Great question. In a simple definition: It is a company that typically creates, processes, packages, and distributes food products. This is for all foods, not just gluten-free ones. They are however very similar.
Using a dedicated gluten-free food manufacturer reduces the risk of contamination and increases customer trust. We also have certifications and meet standards for GFCO so you can register your products to have the official iconography. All the products we co-pack are gluten-free, and we even have an allergen-free facility.
Food manufacturers take your product from ingredients sourcing to distributing. It starts with your recipe and moves swiftly to the manufacturer to find the best ingredients. There are then safety checks on equipment, and in our case gluten testing. Testing gluten is an important step, it allows us to ensure that the products in our facility are gluten-free.
Ensure You Manufacture Safe Food with SQF & GFCO Certifications
A gluten-free manufacturer that is certified in SQF (safe quality food) and GFCO (gluten-free certification organization), is imperative for the safety of your gluten-free product. Both certifications have a long and dedicated process to obtain and maintain. Along with these certifications, we have other 3rd party audits.
With gluten-free products, it is important to trust your co-packer and ensure that your product is truly gluten-free. This is safer for your product and your customers. Both certifications are global and we help our partners sell their products all over the world.
