Quality Assurance

Quality is the backbone of our business and is rooted in everything we do. Our all-hands-on-deck approach is what our business is built upon and shapes our ability to innovate.

Trouw Nutrition's QA Guiding Philosophy

If there’s a need for the industry, we will be the first to adapt it and the first to perfect it. Trouw Nutrition is setting the standard when it comes to Quality and then looking to exceed it.
Tom Best, Director of Quality & Food Safety

Not only do we quality check everything -- we recheck it! Our quality checks include naming just a few, securing the supply chain through our ISAM system (Ingredient Supplier Assessment Management), testing and monitoring through Lab Retriever, our LIMS system, PQA’s, NIR Discriminant Analysis, and testing the final product through our ISO-certified vitamin laboratory. On average, our premixes undergo more than 101 quality checks.
