There is no doubt that, when it comes to our diet (especially with the intake of food supplements), we always look for quality products whose guarantee is endorsed by the scientific community, as well as by international standards. Well, the HSN factory has renewed its IFS Food V7 certificate for yet another year with a Higher Level assessment, the maximum possible, with a score of 95.55%. HSN received this certificate for the first time in 2021, also becoming the first Spanish brand of sports nutrition and healthy eating with its own factory to have said certification.
What is IFS Food and why is it important?
IFS Food is the acronym for International Food Standard. It is a food safety certification recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) to evaluate companies that manufacture food or operate in the field of nutrition. In short, we could say that it is one of the most demanding international quality standards.
The IFS Food guarantees the consumer comparability, safety and defense; as well as transparency throughout the supply chain. It also guarantees the safety and food quality requirements of the manufactured products, as well as the effective management of food management and compliance with Food Defense.
In this way, the quality of the raw materials used in the seven product lines of the HSN brand has been more than validated.
Excellence and leadership of the HSN brand
HSN has not only renewed its certification in terms of good (factory) standards, but has also recognized the excellence of the nutrition brand in the following areas:
- Mix of food supplements and food formulas, especially in powder format and in packaging in plastic bags.
- Encapsulation or compression of food supplements, packaged in plastic bottles.
- Packaging of food supplements, in soft gel format, in plastic bottles.
Similarly, the HSN factory has renewed its GMP ( Good Manufacturing Practices) and HACCP or in Spanish HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) certifications in 2022, thus demonstrating that they offer the highest quality in their products.
Multidisciplinary R+D+i team
HSN develops all its products at its facilities with the help of an interdisciplinary R&D team, made up of dieticians, nutritionists, pharmacists and physical fitness professionals; who try to meet the needs of society (and athletes) by choosing the best raw materials, as well as analyzing the latest scientific studies and research.
The products developed by the R&D team are manufactured under the highest internal and external quality and safety standards, as required by the IFS Food. After production, the products go directly from the factory to the customers’ homes, who purchase them through the online store Hsnstore.com.
In addition, the national brand applies End to End philosophies, avoiding intermediaries that increase sales prices; and Right Price or Fair Price, offering its customers the best products on the market, manufactured with the highest quality raw materials, at an adjusted price to continue with its chain of development and growth.
Cysti care, one of its latest additions
Cysti Care (one of the latest additions to the EssentialSeries line), is a combination of herbal extracts, probiotics, fructooligosaccharides and vitamins, such as vitamin A, which contributes to the proper functioning of the bladder and urinary flow. Its formula has been developed by the HSN R+D+i team using the best raw materials.
This is just a small example of everything that the leading nutrition brand can do to promote the health and well-being of people, covering a wide range of needs, as they also have specific products to reduce sleep problems (Melatonin Complex) , control anxiety and stress (affron® Saffron Extract) , as well as to promote a healthier lifestyle through food (Protein Pudding).
