NSF registration assures inspection officials, consumers and end users that products are safe to use in and around food processing and storage. The evaluation process includes a toxicological review of the ingredients, accuracy of labeling and Material Safety Data Sheet. Most importantly, that each product meets all of the requirements of a specific standard and that the manufacturer's claims are true.
