Vitae Naturals gets RSPO certification

Vitae Naturals has announced that it has recently obtained RSPO certification through strict verification of the production process under the stringent “RSPO Principles & Criteria”. This, the company notes, means that all ingredients containing palm oil derivatives are sourced through Roundtable of Sustainable Palm Oil Mass Balance mixed-source supply chain.

The company goes on to say that fulfilment according to the RSPO standard is guaranteed in the whole supply chain using RSPO certified products. Audits are carried out annually by an accredited company, to prevent overselling and mixing palm oil with conventional (or non-sustainable) oil palm products.
