USDA Organic Certification

SCS's NutriClean division has been certifying organic food claims since 1986. In April 2002, the U.S. Department of Agriculture officially accredited NutriClean, as an organic certifier under the new National Organic Program (NOP).

The NOP establishes standards for the production and handling of organic products. These standards define accepted production and handling practices, provide a National List of substances approved or prohibited from use in the production and handling of organic products, and describe record-keeping requirements. In addition, the NOP establishes guidelines and requirements for the marketing and labeling of certified organic products.

NutriClean certifies food producers, handlers and retailers. Our bilingual staff operates both domestically and internationally, with offices in California and Mexico. For a schedule of fees for organic certification services, please visit our Program Materials page.

SCS also offers additional services that may be important to a company’s organic food production or processing operation, including:

• Pesticide Residue Free Certification
• Food Safety Audits (GMP, GAP)
• Food Safety Program Development
• Food Safety Employee Training
• Full Spectrum Analytical Services
