Nu-World Amaranth’s Quality Focus

In response to a complaint from a disgruntled former employee, an FDA inspector from the Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals visited our facility on June 9, 2010. After a thorough evaluation, he found nothing to substantiate the alleged claims and our Dyersville manufacturing plants continue to be fully operational. Our Earlville building was cited with an administrative license issue (the license was inadvertently not renewed during the final stages of moving equipment from this building to Dyersville). The Earlville building was not cited with any product quality issues.

Since our inception in 1983, we have delivered high quality food products in full compliance with all standards for safe and quality foods. Nu-World Amaranth is regularly reviewed by the FDA, the AIB (a leading auditor and inspector of the food processing industry), the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG), the Chicago Rabbinical Council (kosher certification), organic and various other state inspectors, each of whom have found Nu-World Amaranth to meet or exceed applicable regulations. In addition, we have our own rigorous internal quality and compliance program to ensure we maintain the highest processing standards.

For example, on June 8, 2010, the Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship Organic Inspector visited our facilities and determined that we were fully compliant with their high organic food processing standards.

Our Earlville building is no longer in operation and has been in transition to our new 30,000 square foot facilities in Dyersville for several months. When it was used recently it was for product trials. Always, any ingredient made here would undergo the same rigorous testing as our ingredients used in our Dyersville facility. Our testing protocols include gliadin, moisture and micro testing. On a periodic basis our testing procedures are further verified by third party labs.

Nu-World Amaranth is proud to be a strong, growing employer and community partner in Eastern Iowa. This year we will add 15 new jobs to the local community, which will take us to a team of 60 employees. All of us at Nu-World Amaranth are proud of the work we do to serve the gluten-free communities with our dedicated gluten-free, allergen-free manufacturing plants (free of the top 8 food allergens) and are committed to providing high quality food products and specialty grain ingredients to our customers in full compliance with FDA guidelines and good manufacturing practices.

We share your concern and passion for safe and high quality gluten-free, allergen-free products – Every Day!. In light of this, we appreciate your concern with quality and safety standards in our industry.
