Nedstar can supply your product with kosher certification from a recognised kosher certification agency. This guarantees your product complies with the orthodox Jewish standards of kashrut (Jewish religious dietary law) in terms of ingredients and production processes.
If needed, we can deliver your product as COSMOS-approved. This is a guarantee the product meets organic and natural cosmetics standards in a variety of areas including the origin and processing of ingredients; product composition; storage, manufacturing and packaging; responsible environmental management throughout the value chain; and inspection.
Nedstar organic products meet the requirements of the EU organic logo. The logo can only be used on products certified as organic by an EU-authorised agency. They must meet strict criteria for production, processing, transportation and storage. Using the logo on products makes it easy for consumers across the EU to identify your product as genuinely organic.
Nedstar can provide your product with GMO-free or Non-GMO certification. A genetically-modified organism (GMO) is one that has been genetically engineered to create gene combinations that don’t occur in nature. A GMO-free product contains no GMOs or genetically engineered DNA. In addition to containing no GMOs, a non-GMO product is also guaranteed not to be derived from any GMO sources.
Nedstar offers USP-grade products for use, for example, in manufacturing pharmaceuticals or as active ingredients in personal care products. The USP (US Pharmacopeia) sets the potency and purity standards for pharmaceutical-grade chemicals and solvents. A USP-grade product meets or exceeds these standards, and so can be used in food, drugs or medicinal products and for most lab purposes.
Nedstar offers products that comply with BP (British Pharmacopoeia), JP (Japanese Pharmacopoeia) and EP (European Pharmacopoeia) potency and purity standards for chemicals and solvents. A product that is approved as pharmaceutical-grade by these bodies can be used in food, drugs or medicinal products in those countries, as well as for most lab purposes
Nedstar supplies products that are certified as USDA-Organic and have been produced according to the standards of the USDA-NOP (US Dept. of Agriculture National Organic Program). This means they avoid, for example, synthetic fertilisers and genetic engineering, and use practices that foster the cycling of resources, promote ecological balance and conserve biodiversity.
Nedstar complies with the standards supported and promoted by IFOAM Organics Europe, which is the European branch of an umbrella organisation for the organic food and farming sector. IFOAM promotes and works towards complying with the principles of organic agriculture — health, ecology, fairness and care — throughout the organic food chain.
Nedstar can provide SKAL certification for your agricultural products. Skal is an independent EU-certified foundation set up by the Dutch government that controls and supervises organic production in the Netherlands. Skal’s EKO quality mark confirms that a product complies with Dutch and EU regulations for organic production.
Nedstar products are processed following Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) for human and veterinary medicines. GMP describes the standards manufacturers must meet in their production processes. Monitoring and inspections are carried out by the European Medicines Agency.
The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) monitors food safety certification programmes around the world and recognises those that meet its benchmark standards. Nedstar works with certification programmes that have GFSI recognition. So our clients and partners can be confident that we only work with ‘gold standard’ certifications and quality marks.
