-

 


Malnutrition is a global concern that needs immediate attention, with millions of children losing their health and lives to this phenomenon every year. In this crucial fight against malnutrition, humanitarian nutrition is the need of the hour with food safety now being more important than ever to determine the overall success of RUTF and RUSF products.

At Nuflower, we have been manufacturing RUTF and RUSF products for over a decade, and our commitment to safety and quality makes us a trusted partner to world health organizations and global NGOs. At the forefront of our commitment to safety and quality lie in these 5 crucial principles.

Strict Compliance with Global Standards

As a trusted partner to notable organizations combating malnutrition, our commitment to global standards is uncompromisable. We ensure strict adherence to global health and safety standards. Our standard protocols meet stringent food safety requirements of health organizations like WHO, UNICEF, and WFP. Our key focus areas include microbiological safety, aflatoxin control, and adherence to permissible heavy metal limits.

Stringent Sourcing of Raw Materials & Supplier Verification

We believe that quality begins with the basics and hence our process of sourcing raw materials like peanuts, sugar, oils and other essentials. We ensure that we only source raw ingredients from trusted vendors with certification checks for compliance with safety and quality standards. We ensure pesticide and toxin screening by conducting stringent testing to eliminate the presence of harmful residues in raw materials. Additionally, our meticulous supplier verification process ensures the integrity of raw materials used in our lifesaving formulations.

State of the Art Manufacturing & Quality Control

The Nuflower facilities are ISO 22000, HACCP, GMP, and FSSC 22000-certified upholding the highest food safety and hygiene standards to ensure that every product we manufacture is strictly controlled to prevent contamination. We have delivered over 26000 MT since 2017 and we can proudly confirm that our products have been manufactured with the highest level of quality.

Our automated and sterile processing reduces the need for human contact thus drastically reducing the risks of contamination. We follow stringent sanitation protocols within the facility and deploy strict quality checks before distribution.

Advanced Packaging & Storage Solutions

After rigorous screening throughout the manufacturing process, we maintain product integrity even in extreme conditions. Our advanced packaging and storage methods play a vital role in ensuring the safety and longevity of the RUTF and RUSF products we manufacture. Apart from barrier packing and tamper-proof sealing, we maintain proper temperature and humidity control during the storage and transportation of products across the globe.

Continuous Improvement & Innovation

The food safety landscape is constantly evolving, and at Nuflower, we are committed to staying ahead through continuous research and technological advancements. A part of adhering to global standards also lies in our commitment to continuously improve and innovate.

We conduct regular process evaluations to identify key areas for improvement and implement new safety measures. We also regularly evaluate measures to advance quality control and real-time safety monitoring.
