iPura

iPura ® Private Label Program Today’s consumers expect a higher degree of food safety and most believe that not enough is being done to protect their health. Sourcing iPura® labeled seafood can differentiate your products from all others in the marketplace by addressing critical food safety and quality assurance issues at a level unmatched in the industry. 

The iPura® seal represents the highest standards in food safety, quality, and sustainability.

The iPura® Food Safety and Quality Assurance Program (”iPura®”) is based on proprietary organic microbial intervention technologies applied on-site at selectedpremier aquaculture producers.  iPura® raises the bar on-site using the proprietary iPura® system hardware operated by iPura® technicians to apply  the iPura® microbial kill-step interventions prior to packaging. iPura® microbiologists validate product and conduct environmental monitoring periodically throughout the production day.  No heat, high pressure, irradiation, chlorine, or other harmful chemicals are used. The result is cleaner, safer and better tasting seafood.

iPura ®  is the world’s first on-site program that contributes technology, proprietary equipment, manpower and antimicrobial agents that are FDA-approved and on the USDA Organic Registry.  The Program’s components and controls (listed below) validate iPura® as the supply chain initiative that is doing what others talk about.

Raising the Bar:  

  1. iPura on-site food safety and quality assurance team
  2. Chlorine free “organic clean step”
  3. Proprietary delivery systems (IP)
  4. Continual testing against foodborne hazards
  5. Protection against cross contamination

  7. Traceability (TraceRegister)
  8. Security authentication against counterfeiting & fraud
  9. Product insurance throughout the distribution chain
  10. Independent third-party certification (GFSI benchmarked schemes)

iPura ® is best in class for customers who actively pursue superior products. The iPura® label  provides a clear validation point that demonstrates you are ahead of the curve in sourcing the highest standards in food safety and food quality, and acting responsibly to sustain the natural resources of the planet.
