Usana manufacturing facility receives GFSI certification from SQF

Usana earned a Global Food Safety Initiative – GFSI – certification of its foods manufacturing facility through the Safe Quality Foods – SQF – program. The certification pertains to Usana’s enrobed snack bars and drink mix powders. In 2019, USANA opened a new foods facility next door to the company’s main office and manufacturing hub in Salt Lake City, Utah. This ~43,000-square-foot manufacturing plant handles USANA’s bar, gusset, single-serve, and powder blending production. GFSI is a coalition formed in 2000 made up of retailers, scientists, and other members of the Consumer Goods Forum from 70 countries around the world. The goal of GFSI is to reduce recalls and provide safer, more reliable products to consumers by defining elite industry standards. SQF is a food safety standard recognized by GFSI. This recognition means companies implementing SQF can demonstrate compliance with GFSI’s global standards, enhancing their credibility and market access.
