Direct Food Ingredients receives prestigious accreditation

Direct Food Ingredients has achieved certification from Informed-Sport and Informed-Choice - a quality assurance program for suppliers to the sports nutrition industry.

The leading international ingredients distributor has been accredited due to its vast range of quality assured products which are supplied to sports nutrition manufacturers around the world.

Reputable manufacturers of sports nutrition products can certify their site with Informed-Sport so that their customers - companies in the sports nutrition industry – can easily identify them as having quality systems in place to limit the risk of contamination with banned substances. This ensures the integrity of the manufacturing process specifically for sports nutrition manufacturing practices.

Direct Food Ingredients is now the only company to be an accredited Informed Sports Site which also boasts a BRC Agents and Brokers accreditation.

Steve Loake, managing director of Direct Food Ingredients, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be awarded this accreditation. When it comes to ingredients for sports nutritional products, it is extremely important to be transparent and that is why we personally audit our raw material manufacturers, ensuring that each and every item meets the premium specifications outlined by the industry.

“This is a forever expanding market and it is important that we keep one step ahead and supply the very best ingredients to every one of our customers.”

Ross Austen, Business Development Manager at Informed-Sport, said: “It is great to see Direct Food Ingredients taking the necessary precautions to reduce the risk of cross contamination within its facility by being part of the Informed-Sport site certification programme.

Cheshire-based Direct Food Ingredients is an established leader in the importation, storage and distribution of functional foods, nutritional and sports ingredients as well as vitamin and mineral premixes. The business also has a second office in Los Angeles, California.
