Natural Food Certifiers (NFC) awards kosher, organic, and vegan certification to natural food and medicinal products. Based in the Hudson Valley area of New York state, NFC currently certifies manufacturers and producers in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe.
The Apple Kosher Program
NFC Kosher Program accepts only natural products for certification. The program follows strict traditional, orthodox, kosher standards and practices. Recognized as one of the earliest forms of product integrity and quality assurance, kosher certification assures consumers that a product has been isolated from unkosher foods and other forms of product contamination (please note that standard government regulations for equipment cleaning practices do not often conform to the same high standards set forth in Kosher law).
NFC Organic Certified
The NFC is a USDA certified certification agent of the National Organic Program. NFC is accredited to certify manufacturers and handlers, as well as livestock, fields, and crop products. Additionally, NFC is structured to certify retail and restaurant establishments seeking organic certification (these programs are outside the scope of the USDA-NOP).
NFC Vegan Certification
NFC certifies products as vegan certified. The NFC Vegan Certification standard includes product assurance of no animal, fish, egg, or insect by-products, no co-mingling with the above mentioned products, and equipment integrity and assurance of no crossover contamination through application of kosher sanitation program protocols.
