Our Certifications

Good Manufacturing Practices is a set of guidelines that ensure the production of high quality products. Although there are no GMP guidelines specifically for the production of tofu, we adapt the general principals. The main guideline of GMP requires us to define clear and unambiguous steps for the manufacturing procedures.

After these steps are determined, we use monitoring equipment to ensure every step in the defined procedures is being followed. All recorded data is then logged for future use. If any problems appear after we have shipped out the product, we can trace the product back to a specific batch and determine the problem. This will ensure the same problem does not occur for any other batches.

As the ONLY tofu manufacturer in Western Canada to have HACCP certification, we can ensure that our products are high quality and safe. HACCP is an international standard that uses systematically identifies potential hazards (biological, chemical, or physical). Control Points are established so that the products can be examined during each stage of production.

The control points allows us to pinpoint the exact time when a product does not meet our standards. At the Control Points, we take samples and record all available information about the product. All recorded data is archived for future use and analysis. The certification also requires us to run tests on our own equipment to ensure they can properly detect any problems during production.

Our HACCP certification is verified by SGS which is the world-leading third-party certification body. As one of the world’s largest certification bodies, SGS has issued over 80 000 certifications and develops other international standards.

Our line of organic products is certified by the British Columbia Certified Organic Program. You can read more about what goes into organic certification on their website.

In addition, we only use top quality, Grade A, Canadian grown, non-GMO soybeans in all of our tofu and soymilks.

In keeping with Superior Tofu’s “Pure. And Simple” philosophy, our company received Kosher Pareve status on December 15th, 2003. Certified by The Orthodox Rabbinical Council of British Columbia, we’ve joined the ranks of progressive suppliers who have adopted strict measures to ensure the quality, cleanliness and purity of their ingredients and manufacturing practices.

Though the term “Kosher” refers to Jewish dietary laws, many other groups follow dietary restrictions akin to Judaism, including Muslims, vegetarians, and Seventh Day Adventists. There is also a growing demand for kosher products, as more and more consumers are perceiving “kosher status” products as having higher quality and purity. The BCK symbol will soon begin to appear on all of our Superior Tofu packaging, along with nutritional breakdowns on all of our soy products – our packaging proactively features the newest nutritional labeling requirements. Although this is not yet mandatory, the Superior Tofu team is committed to providing you with all the information you may want and need.

As usual, we continue to only use Canadian grown, non-GMO soybeans. No preservatives, artificial colours or flavours are used.
