One of the new elements of our traceability strategy is our membership in Sedex – one of the world’s leading ethical trade membership organizations. Sedex provides businesses an online platform with tools and resources to help suppliers operate more responsibly and sustainably, protect their workers and farmers, and ensure their sourcing partners are doing the same.
Supporting organic agriculture is central to our mission. At Frontier Co-op, 80% of our botanicals and 83% of our food ingredients are organically sourced. We believe organic agriculture is better for the environment—soil, water, and food—and for people, from farmers to consumers.
Learn More >Fairtrade Premiums are a sum paid above a commodity’s market price that farmers or workers earn when they sell their product on Fairtrade terms. They decide together how to invest the Fairtrade Premium to reach their goals, such as improving their farming, businesses, or health and education in their community.
Learn More >Frontier Co-op® believes firmly that regenerative agriculture should inherently require organic practices, and Regenerative Organic Certified® represents the highest standard for organic agriculture in the world. By purchasing these products, we can help rehabilitate soil, respect animal welfare, and improve the lives of farmers.
Learn More >A key component of our commitment to traceability and transparency is our dedication to quality and purity. At Frontier Co-op, we believe our customers have the right to know what they’re putting in and on their bodies, or using in their homes. We are dedicated to full ingredient disclosure on all our products, but take it a step even further to include:
Providing these details on our product labels serves as a significant indicator of quality, and is something many of our competitors do not include on their labels. For example, our customers can trust that our lavender is 100% "true lavender" (lavendula angustifolia).
A key component of transparency is identifying where our products are sourced from, so consumers can make more educated decisions about their purchases.
To ensure the highest quality for our consumers, we set high standards for our products, and have established internal testing processes and capabilities to ensure the integrity of our products. We handle product carefully from receiving through processing and all the way to distribution to guarantee safe, high-quality products.
We have always practiced ingredient transparency, and maintain a steadfast commitment to providing safe, pure products across all of our brands. Our labels clearly and completely reflect the ingredients in the product, and we have zero tolerance for adulterants, fillers, or prohibited ingredients.
This team of quality professionals are dedicated to food safety, quality, and regulatory compliance. Key responsibilities include adherence to and continuous improvement against industry standards, maintenance of internal audit programs, and maintaining and defining programs related to plant quality. This team also reviews, tests, and evaluates key programs or systems through ongoing review of codes, regulations, and the coordination of operational reviews and reporting.
The function of our Quality Control (QC) team is to confirm the fit-for-use of incoming raw materials through scientifically valid chemical and physical testing of spices, herbs, and essential oils prior to packaging and sale to the public. While Quality Assurance (QA) is primarily focused on prerequisite programs for assuring that the manufacture of products will result in safe, delicious spices and herbs and wonderful essential oils, QC employs sophisticated analytical instrumentation to measure key quality parameters in determining alignment with internally established expectations of excellence for all Frontier-Co-op products.
