In House Laboratory

Built in 2002, our Portland processing facility includes our own QC laboratory. In addition to being a secure location in which to conduct all types of standard QC product analysis, our laboratory is equipped to conduct bacteria testing, histamine testing, and water content analysis. North Atlantic, Inc.'s rigorous QC protocols include daily monitoring of bacteria loads on our plant's processing surfaces.

Third Party Audited

To ensure the quality and safety of our products, our Portland and Southeast Asian processing operations are Third Party Audited. The extensive requirements of these audit protocols encompass food safety, food security, and process management.

Our Portland processing plant has been Silliker Certified for the last 5 years and is in the process of becoming BRC Certified. All North Atlantic, Inc. products produced overseas are packed in Third Party Audited facilities. Our new Benoa plant is specifically designed to meet BRC audit criteria. Documentation of our compliance is available from our auditors upon request.

Positive Product Release

A mainstay of North Atlantic, Inc.'s overseas operations is the production of custom cut private label products. To ensure that our customer's products meet their exact specifications, North Atlantic, Inc. has developed a system to document the quality of product before it is shipped to the U.S. North Atlantic, Inc. employs two full-time master QC inspectors overseas. Besides being responsible for supervising QC at our plants and suppliers, these employees are responsible for completing detailed reports called Positive Product Releases. The releases include documentation of the raw material's origins, production codes, photographs, and QC reports. In addition to providing our customers with un-paralleled confidence that their inbound products will meet their and their customer's requirements, the information speeds FDA import clearance procedures.
