To launch its certified organic line of dietary supplements, Futurebiotics LLC, Hauppauge,NY, created new packaging and updated its packaging process to gain organic certification from NOFA-NY Certified Organic LLC.
"We had to either find somebody that could manufacture the products and maintain all of the organic certifications or we had to become certified ourselves and make our own product and meet all the regulations," says Grace Lyn Rich, Director of trade marketing at Futurebiotics. "I don't think consumers realize what's entailed not to lose that certification; how carefully you have to handle the ingredients so you don't lose the certification. You can use ingredients that weren't grown with pesticides and still not be able to claim that your product is certified organic."
