Standard Process products labeled as Vegetarian are considered lacto-ovo vegetarian, which means they are devoid of animal-based tissue, animal-based gelatin, or fish oil. They may contain animal-based ingredients such as dairy, eggs, honey, beeswax, or lanolin.
Testing
At Standard Process, each batch is tested four times. Every week, their scientists in their full-scale quality control laboratory run as many as 2,100 tests on raw materials, in-process product batches, and finished products.
Sanitation
Standard Process believes there are no shortcuts when it comes to quality and safety, and they keep their facility in pristine condition. In between product runs, their equipment is taken apart, cleaned, and sanitized. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) testing is used to validate the effectiveness of the cleaning process. Additionally, they clean the surrounding production suite, including floors, walls, and vent covers. This is all in addition to their routine monitoring.
