Martin Bauer achieves QAI organic accreditation for Pennsylvania plant

Martin Bauer, a manufacturer of tea and botanical solutions for the food, beverage, and dietary supplement industries, has announced that its newest manufacturing facility in Bethlehem, Pa., has received organic certification from Quality Assurance International (QAI). QAI is one of the leading agencies authorized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to certify organic integrity to national and international programs.

“With the organic certification, Martin Bauer USA is now fully equipped to manufacture and distribute a wide array of organic teas and herbal raw materials for use in high-quality RTDs [ready-to-drink], as well as specialty products for foodservice,” said George Pontiakos, the chief operations officer at Martin Bauer. “It is the result of decades of science and research applied to an exacting transformation process with one goal in mind: beverages whose flavor is just as authentic and fresh as a real homebrew.”
