Bell Flavors & Fragrances has announced its new expanded range of certified organic and organic compliant flavours. Bell currently offers a broad range of organic compliant flavours and recently launched a range of certified organic flavours, certified through Quality Assurance International (QAI). As the demand for organic products continues to grow, Bell says it is excited to continue to offer a growing range of organic flavours to meet this dynamic market category.
Based in the United States, QAI is authorized by the USDA as an international organic certification company that works to certify organic manufacturing processes and operations to comply with National Organic Program standards. According to the QAI website, being organic means “produce and other organic ingredients in retail products are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, sewage sludge, genetically modified organisms or ionizing radiation. Animals that produce meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products are not given antibiotics or growth hormones.” Since Bell processes organic flavours before they reach grocery stores, restaurant kitchens, bakeries, and more, the company must also be certified organic. By the end of 2018, Bell’s Northbrook headquarters location will have a finalized certified organic flavour line. Bell’s Canadian manufacturing location in Montreal currently has an entire line of organic certified flavours to offer customers.
