SuperChoc

Many of our products contain super nutrients like polyphenols and other phytonutrients. To ensure these nutrients are retained, we use premium, multi-layered, fully-lined metallised foil pouches. The internal compartment is lined with food grade plastic, so no metal or aluminium component comes into contact with the food. Although biodegradable pouches may seem like the more environmentally friendly option, they're more porous and allow the food and powders to come into contact with degrading factors such as oxygen and moisture, therefore reducing the potency, quality and shelf life of the product. Anything other than fully metalized triple laminated foil is prone to early degradation. We also endeavour to avoid using single serve sachets due to packaging wastage and high carbon footprint.

AsureQuality is New Zealand's most recognised name in food assurance and certification, and is backed by the reputation of being a New Zealand government-owned business.

When you see the AsureQuality “certified organic” mark on a product label, it means the producer has been independently audited and verified against strict organic standards. Specifically, it guarantees that:

• No synthetic pesticides, fertilisers, or GMOs have been used. It also covers the implementation of sustainable growing practices and, for animal products, that animals are raised humanely, fed only organic feed, and given no synthetic hormones or antibiotics.
• Independent verification has taken place - producers are independently verified and certified, not simply self-declared as organic.
• Full supply chain integrity is maintained - from the farm or orchard through to the factory, solely organic inputs and processes have been used. Every organic producer is audited in person every year.
• Internationally recognised standards are met - the AsureQuality Organic Standard is MPI and IFOAM (International Federation of Organic Agricultural Movements) accredited, and based on EU Regulations as well as the Australian National Standard, giving certified products access to organic markets worldwide.
