Why Organic USDA NOP Certification Matters for Supplement Brands
At SREKE, we understand that the organic supplement market is booming. According to the Organic Trade Association, U.S. organic food and beverage sales reached over $61 billion in 2022, with dietary supplements representing a fast-growing segment. For brand owners and distributors, USDA National Organic Program (NOP) certification is more than a label—it's a trust signal that meets strict federal standards for organic production, handling, and labeling.
Common challenges include sourcing certified organic raw materials, maintaining supply chain integrity, and navigating the complex certification process. As a GMP-certified manufacturer, we handle these challenges for you, ensuring your private label supplements meet all USDA NOP requirements.
Key Manufacturing Considerations at SREKE
Formulation & Dosage Forms
Our R&D team develops custom organic formulations in capsules, tablets, powders, softgels, gummies, and liquids. We use only organic excipients and avoid synthetic additives. Every formula undergoes stability testing to ensure shelf life and potency.
Quality Standards
We operate under strict GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) guidelines as verified by NSF and ISO 22000. Each batch receives a Certificate of Analysis (COA) from our in-house lab plus third-party testing for heavy metals, microbial contaminants, and pesticide residues—all compliant with USDA NOP and FDA requirements.
Regulatory Compliance
Our facility is certified for organic processing by a USDA-accredited certifying agent. We maintain full traceability from raw material intake to finished product, with separate handling procedures to prevent cross-contamination. For export to the EU, we also align with EFSA organic equivalency standards.
