Prestigious validation added for USANA product
quality and safety
SALT LAKE
CITY, Jan. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Quality is
at the core of everything USANA does, and this drive for excellence
is especially apparent in the way the company develops and
manufactures safe and effective products. USANA recently added to
its long list of third-party validations by earning a Global Food
Safety Initiative (GFSI) certification of its foods manufacturing
facility through the Safe Quality Foods (SQF) program. The
certification pertains to USANA's enrobed snack bars and drink mix
powders.
In 2019, USANA opened a new foods facility next
door to the company's main office and manufacturing hub in
Salt Lake City, Utah. This
~43,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art manufacturing plant handles
USANA's bar, gusset, single-serve, and powder blending
production.

"Receiving our GFSI certification is a landmark
moment for USANA and our manufacturing capabilities," said
Jim Brown, USANA president and CEO.
"In the crowded health and wellness space it's important to
differentiate yourself. Receiving this certification is a great way
for us to do just that. I'm extremely proud of our manufacturing
and quality teams who have implemented the standards and practices
necessary to pass this demanding audit."
GFSI is a coalition formed in 2000 made up of
retailers, scientists, and other members of the Consumer Goods
Forum from 70 countries around the world. The goal of GFSI is to
reduce recalls and provide safer, more reliable products to
consumers by defining elite industry standards.
SQF is a food safety standard recognized by GFSI.
It's one of the benchmarks to meet their stringent requirements for
food safety management systems. This recognition means companies
implementing SQF can demonstrate compliance with GFSI's global
standards, enhancing their credibility and market access.
"SQF is considered to be the highest standard in
the industry, and our certification with them places us at the top
of the mountain," said Walter Noot,
USANA's chief operating officer. "Having SQF certify our dedication
to the safest and highest-quality production standards is a huge
benefit to us—especially with our foods products. I look forward to
the new opportunities this certification can create for us. Thank
you to everyone at our USANA foods facility for all their hard
work."
