Mt. Angel, Oregon (PRWEB) - January 31, 2017 - Highland Laboratories announced today that it has become Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth, joining the movement to promote “biologically sound and socially equitable agriculture.”
The 43-year-old contract and private label manufacturer of vitamins, supplements and personal care products joins a growing community of organic handlers working to realize the positive human & environmental impacts of moving towards organic materials and methods.
The certification includes NOP-Handling for vitamins and nutritional supplements as well as NSF/ANSI 305 for personal care products containing organic ingredients. A thorough facility inspection verified organic integrity in processing, packaging, receiving, shipping, storage, and distribution.
“Consumer demand for organic products is growing rapidly in the specialty vitamins space in the U.S.,” stated Robert Ugianskis, CEO. “Our ability to produce both conventional and organic products opens up new business opportunities for our clients, but it’s about more than that for us.
