Meeting state and federal food and drug regulations says that a company is committed to passing a periodic review to ensure that its business continues to operate. However, when a company creates its own standards and enforces them on a weekly basis, that company is proving its commitment to the clients, themselves and to the quality of what people put into their bodies. Ecuadorian Rainforest exemplifies the latter scenario. It provides rigorous testing and keeps stringent quality control over its ingredients to surpass its customers demands. Take note of some of the ways that Ecuadorian defines and enforces rigorous standards of quality for its products:
• An internal quality-control program to ensure that ingredients are free of toxins and undesired by-products
• Alliances with science laboratories to enforce rigorous testing procedures
• Weekly testing for microbial pathogens and heavy metals, including lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury
• Microbiological testing, including total plate count, yeast and mold, coliforms, E. coli and salmonella
• Random testing of materials moisture content
• HPTLC (high-performance thin layer chromatography) testing for initial approval and supply of materials
• High performance liquid chromatography testing for powdered extracts
• Prevention of all sub-potent and contaminated materials from entering the products
• Regular testing for proper identification and chemical efficacy
Ecuadorian’s goal is to provide its customers with the world’s most sought-after ingredients in the quality they would expect from a top nutraceutical ingredients supplier. The company prides itself with maintaining tight-knit relationships with its clients and going the extra mile to help. It aims to surpass a customer’s expectations to show its commitment to them and to its natural ingredients.
