SQF (GFSI)
The SQF (or “Safe Quality Food”) certification is recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative as the standard for food and supplement safety.

Certified Facility for Organic (Oregon Tilth)
Nutra Connection received their Organic certification from OTCO (Oregon Tilth Certified Organic), which is accredited by the USDA. We strive for quality, and we meet the OTCO’s strict organic standards!
-
Kosher (Orthodox Union)
There are lists of specific foods that are not Kosher, but even if a desired ingredient is not on that list, your product won’t be Kosher if manufactured or handled incorrectly. Nutra Connection has a Kosher certification from the Orthodox Union, which means that the equipment and processes we use meet Kosher requirements.
-
Gluten-Free
Earning a Gluten-Free certification requires a third party to review ingredients, audit manufacturing processes, and verify safety standards. Like all certifications, regular audits determine whether businesses continue to meet the requirements. Nutra Connection has a Gluten-Free certification!
-
GMP
The “Good Manufacturing Practices” certification verifies that a company has met the safety and quality standards outlined by UDAF (the Utah Department of Agriculture & Food). This certification requires a company to be registered with the FDA and have their personnel, equipment, facilities, sanitation, and more be audited regularly. Nutra Connection is GMP certified!
