Friday, October 17th, 2014


Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) September 19, 2014

Barnhardt Manufacturing Company has earned the USDA Certified Biobased Product Label for its Organic Cotton. The USDA Certified Biobased Product Label verifies that the product’s amount of renewable biobased ingredients meets or exceeds levels set by USDA. Biobased products are finished or intermediate materials composed in whole or in significant part of agricultural, forestry, or marine ingredients.

“This logo/label will allow our Organic cotton to be immediately identified as a USDA certified BioPreferred product,” said Chuck Allen, Director of Product Development at Barnhardt.

All biobased amount claims are verified by independent labs and monitored by the USDA. Consumers may feel secure in the accuracy of the biobased amount and be empowered in making better informed purchasing decisions.

“We are proud that Barnhardt Manufacturing Company has earned the USDA Certified Biobased Product Label,” said Ron Buckhalt, USDA BioPreferred Program Manager. “Biobased products add value to renewable agriculture commodities, create jobs in rural communities and help our nation decrease its reliance on foreign-sourced and non-renewable petroleum.”

The label is to be on certified products and has been available for consumers since September 2, 2014. Our product was certified to 100% Biobased.

Acid-2-Alkaline Receives Prestigious USDA Organic Certification

Wednesday, September 24th, 2014


San Antonio, TX (PRWEB) September 05, 2014

Max Koutny, president and founder of the nutritional product company Acid-2-Alkaline®, today announced that the company has received full USDA Organic Certification status. To be certified as organic, a manufacturer, grower or product handler must meet a set of stringent requirements under the USDA’s National Organic Program (NOP). Receiving the USDA Organic Certification Seal demonstrates a company’s ongoing commitment to a healthy planet and assures consumers and buyers that the company, products and individual ingredients meet the NOP guidelines in regard to the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances.

“Achieving USDA Organic Certified status means that our product has received the highest quality rating that an all – natural product line can achieve,” states Mr. Koutny. “Each of our ingredients meets the requirements of the USDA National Organic Program and its’ regulations inspected by an authorized certifying agent. We are proud to be a leader in the health supplements industry, particularly as it relates to keeping all of our products 100% natural and pure, free of chemicals, additives, fillers, and preservatives. We will continue to maintain outstanding quality in all of our products as we move forward.”

Acid-2-Alkaline helps support healthy pH body levels by providing a natural way to help alkalize the body. The alkaline supplements are 100% chemical free, vegan, cruelty free, and certified as Organic and Made with Organic. Originally introduced to the public in 1995, Acid-2-Alkaline has helped thousands of people to improve their low grade health and become healthier, more active individuals.

In the opinion of Acid-2-Alkaline, low grade health, which may include a wide range of health conditions and general discomfort around eating, is a common problem many people face. In addition to leading hectic, fast paced lifestyles, many people have a tendency to eat acid forming fast foods and other acidic forming processed foods, which contributes to the problem. With food being the very source of our sustenance and energy and the central point of many of our social activities, it is imperative to maintain a healthy alkaline diet in order to succeed in one’s day-to-day lives.

While many thousands of people currently use body alkalizing supplements, most manufacturers of body alkalizing supplements are not USDA Certified Organic. This means that those products could contain harmful additives, synthetic chemicals, dyes and by-products as fillers to cut down on their costs.

To find out if a product you are interested in consuming is certified as organic, look on the label. If it is certified organic, it will have a “USDA Organic Certified” seal on the front label or a “Made with Organic” statement. Along with the USDA seal or “Made with Organic” statement, it will say “Certified Organic By” and list the name of the agency under which it has been certified.

Any company that advertises as being organic in their online or printed advertising will also have an “Organic Certificate.” If a company cannot produce their certificate showing which of their products are certified as organic, they are probably not certified organic.
