Nutrinova Inc. becomes certified member of the US C-TPAT program | ||
Nutrinova Inc., the American affiliate of Germany-based Nutrinova Nutrition Specialties & Food Ingredients GmbH in Frankfurt, has recently joined the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism Progam (C-TPAT). C-TPAT is a voluntary government business initiative in the US designed to build cooperative relationships in order to strengthen overall supply chain and improve border security. C-TPAT certification requires uniformly high security standards along the entire transport chain. Producers, forwarders and trading companies can participate in this program. In order to be C-TPAT certified, each company must demonstrate that high security standards are in place in all its processes, including any steps before and after transportation. “The C-TPAT certification is an important cornerstone in Nutrinova’s Global Food Safety and Security Initiative. It enhances security standards over our complete supply chain and emphasizes Nutrinova’s leading position as the experienced and reliable partner for food ingredients”, said Inken Lasar, Risk Manager at Nutrinova. By signing the C-TPAT agreement, Nutrinova Inc. undertakes to guarantee security along the entire supply chain through to delivery to the consignee in the USA. Nutrinova’s security procedures include self-assessment tests and ensure strict adherence to all US guidelines. Furthermore, C-TPAT participants must review their security processes, particularly with regard to protecting buildings against unlawful entry and prohibiting unauthorised access to their facilities. Participating companies can expect expedited processing of their cargo into the USA and fewer shipment inspections. US Customs will also keep participants updated with the latest information, e.g. on legal developments. Editor’s note Nutrinova is a leading international supplier of speciality ingredients for the food and beverage industries. The company invented Acesulfame K and markets this high intensity sweetener under the brand name Sunett®. Nutrinova is one of the world's largest producers of potassium sorbate and sorbic acid and is also active in the market for dietary fibres and omega-3 fatty acids. With its headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany, Nutrinova has 14 subsidiaries throughout the world. | ||
