OGDEN, Utah—Mineral Resources International Inc.’s (MRI) line of all-natural, liquid mineral and trace element dietary supplements and ingredients have attained Kosher certification from Star-K Certification Inc.
The mineral supplements manufactured by MRI that will now feature the Star-K Kosher seal include Anderson’s Concentrated Mineral Drops (CMD) ™, OmniMin™, FortiSalt™ and elete Electrolyte Add-In™. “We are very pleased to be able to offer our customers Kosher-certified products by Star-K,” said Val John Anderson, executive vice-president and director of sales and marketing for MRI. “We are honored to now display the Star-K symbol, which is a trusted and internationally recognized certification, on our product packaging. This certification is further demonstration to consumers that MRI strives to manufacture mineral supplements and ingredients of the highest quality.”
Customers and potential customers may request a copy of MRI’s Kosher certificate, which is valid worldwide through May 31, 2011.
Due to a labeling transition with elete and Anderson’s Health Solute ions products, MRI’s labels will—for a short time—feature the Kosher-certification seal of the Rabbinical Council of California (RCC). Currently, these product lines have dual certification from both the RCC and Star-K. However, until the label transition is complete and new labels are printed, many elete and Anderson’s Health Solute ions product labels will feature the RCC Kosher-certification seal.
As part of its certification with Star-K, MRI had to meet strict requirements, which included providing documentation for Kosher certification for all of MRI’s products and Rabbinical inspections not just of MRI’s manufacturing facility, but NorthShore, the Anderson family’s mineral harvesting operation and supplier of all-natural, food-grade minerals. As part of its ongoing certification and compliance, MRI will continue to receive ongoing inspections of its documentation, manufacturing facility, products and ingredients.
In addition to the Star-K Kosher certification, MRI is a cGMP-certified facility, certified by NSF International.
