Specialized compliance paths for high-growth regulated industries.

01 / DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS

ANSI 455-2 GMP Certification

Amazon requires an NSF/ANSI 455-2 GMP for dietary supplements — or equivalent — certification audit performed by an accredited third-party. We help you navigate the requirements and open the Amazon Marketplace to your company.

02 / CANNABIS & MUSHROOMS

Cannabis, Hemp & Functional Mushrooms

Cannabis is federally illegal, so a third-party audit against a recognized standard is how you prove quality to consumers, vendors and regulators. We build the SOPs, record keeping and testing programs behind that proof — including for the emerging functional mushroom category.

03 / SAFE HARBOR HEMP

Safe Harbor Cannabinoid Products

In Colorado, intoxicating hemp-derived cannabinoid products fall under CDPHE jurisdiction and require third-party GMP certification to produce. We handle certification plus the unique testing and licensing requirements these products carry.

04 / FOOD & BEVERAGE

GMP, HACCP & SQF Compliance

Consulting for food and beverage producers pursuing GMP, HACCP and SQF certification, with heavy experience in bakery, confectionary, beverage, ingredient manufacturing and dietary supplement production.

What Safety Certs
Do For You

A.

Consumer Confidence

A consistent, safe end product plus brand protection — avoiding costly recalls from contaminated, defective or mislabeled goods.

B.

Recall Mitigation

Enhanced traceability and the mock recall exercises inherent in a GMP system let you track and pull affected materials fast, and recover from the event.

C.

Market & Licensing Access

Display that you are proudly GMP Certified, and meet cGMP requirements in states like New York, Florida and Maryland — with Colorado folding GMP principles into cannabis licensing.

Before we hired Food Safety Ninjas, our lab had zero quality systems in place. Zach had us GMP-ready in two months, and helped us meet Colorado's safe harbor hemp requirements. The following year, he guided our pivot from cannabinoids to dietary supplements, and we passed that audit with a perfect score. Zach builds systems that actually work!
