The product is slated for production at the Nutifood factory in My Phuoc Industrial Park, Ben Cat Ward, TP HCM (formerly Binh Duong province), with a market launch projected for Q1/2026.

At this facility, the company has made significant investments, including high-tech equipment imported from Germany and Sweden. Its team of experts and personnel undergo specialized training according to international standards. The factory also implements a rigorous quality control system, process documentation, and traceability protocols.

Tran Bao Minh, vice chairman of Nutifood's board of directors, stated that quality control is not merely a final step but a continuous process throughout the company's value chain. "ACO certification demonstrates our ability to comply with stringent technical standards, and it serves as a foundation for Nutifood to pursue a long-term strategy of elevating nutritional standards and meeting the growing demand for clean, pure, high-end organic products among domestic and international consumers," he said.

Australian Certified Organic (ACO) stands as one of Australia's leading organic certification systems, issued by ACO Certification, a globally recognized independent assessment body. ACO standards are renowned for their rigorous, transparent, and comprehensive evaluation process, requiring adherence from raw material sourcing, production operations, personnel management, and quality control to traceability.

Unlike many organic certifications that assess only individual stages, ACO ensures comprehensiveness across the entire value chain, from raw material supply to the final product. All ingredients used for the product line must originate from suppliers holding valid organic certification, complying with ACO standards or equivalent international organic standards. Ingredients must have transparent origins, be non-GMO, free from growth hormones, artificial fertilizers, and chemical pesticides.

All personnel involved in the organic production chain receive in-depth training on organic standards and cross-contamination prevention. Each stage follows standardized procedures, with documented logs and regular independent assessments. Additionally, the organic production line is either segregated or strictly controlled compared to conventional product lines to prevent cross-contamination. The entire process, areas, and documentation comply with ACO standards.

The transition and certification process typically takes two to three years. Following certification, the company remains subject to periodic audits, unannounced inspections, and annual evaluations to ensure the highest organic standards are consistently maintained.

Thanks to these comprehensive requirements, ACO is considered one of the world's most reputable and challenging organic certifications to achieve. International consumers trust it as a guarantee of product quality, safety, and transparency.
