NAMMEX - North American Medicinal Mushroom Extracts

PACS Certified Mushroom Products meet NOP Standards

Gibsons, British Columbia, December 15, 2009

North American Reishi/Nammex is pleased to announce that our organic products are now certified by Pacific Agricultural Certification Society, PACS, of Vernon, British Columbia. This assures that our organic products meet the newer regulations as set forth in the U.S. National Organic Program, NOP.

North American Reishi/Nammex has been producing certified organic mushroom products since 1993. At that time we used a local volunteer organization called BCARA. A deeply committed group, BCARA demonstrated dedication and knowledge of organic farming because its members were organic growers themselves. In later years BCARA and other British Columbia certifiers organized under a Provincial government umbrella organization called COABC.

In recent years our products have been purchased by companies world-wide and now that the NOP has come into effect we have found it necessary to use a larger certifier with international credibility. We have chosen PACS because it understands the supplement industry and has a proven track record of excellence. It has also met all the criteria to qualify as a worldwide certifier.

Organic certification requires adherence to an ethic that recognizes the importance of toxin-free production of nutritional products. NAMMEX supports this ethic and strives towards the complete certification of our product line.

The leading North American supplier of medicinal mushroom products, NAMMEX is a primary source of mushroom extracts for the U.S. nutritional supplement industry.
