FoodChain ID, a leading food safety, testing and verification organization, expands its services with the addition of organic certifications for U.S. companies in response to the industry’s growing need for integrated solutions.
Widely recognized for its non-GMO verification services, many of FoodChain ID’s clients have requested stacked organic inspections to consolidate their certifications with fewer points of contact, saving both time and money. With almost half of FoodChain ID’s non-GMO clients simultaneously certifying organic, the need is substantial.
As a result, FoodChain ID recently acquired Bioagricert, a global company that was among the first to market in the certification of organic foods. With more than 33 years of expertise in the organic sector, Bioagricert is one of the world’s leading National Organic Program-certifying bodies, having certified over 900 operations.
“As an organic certification pioneer, Bioagricert’s expertise in organic certification, combined with FoodChain ID’s Non-GMO verification expertise and SupplyTrak mapping and label verification system, further strengthens FoodChain ID’s leadership position in providing independent, third-party labeling claims,” says David Carter, general manager, FoodChain ID.
