Applied DNA Sciences received a certification from the Orthodox Union (OU^®) for certain products within the SigNature and CertainT line following a thorough evaluation of the Company’s products and manufacturing processes. The Pareve kosher designation will first be used for the Nutrition21 Nitrosigine^® sports supplement. 

The CertainT platform is used by customers to manage traceability and authenticity in the name of brand assurance, and is also suitable for related markets such as food and pharmaceuticals.

“We are proud to have the OU certification on our qualifying products. OU maintains strict guidelines for certification and ongoing manufacturing, marketing and distribution of products, making Applied DNA’s mission for enabling our customers a platform for proof of authenticity and traceability nicely complementary for OU-certified products.”

Dr. James Hayward, president and CEO, Applied DNA

“Applied DNA Sciences is leading the way in supply chain authentication, and we are excited to partner with them as they expand into the market of dietary supplements, food ingredients and nutraceuticals. In turn, their molecular tag offers our supervision program an additional instrument for validating the integrity of our certified products.”
