OUR QUALITY COMMITMENT

70 YEARS OF TRUST

INTEGRITY OUR CUSTOMERS COUNT ON

We built Vibrant Ingredients® on a simple premise: natural ingredients that brands can trust. And we know trust isn’t given; it’s earned.

Since 1954, we’ve earned the trust of our partners, from emerging brands to leading global brands, having grown from a single site in Eustis, Florida, into the largest private equity-owned natural ingredient supplier in the world. Our decades of experience and integrity are behind every ingredient we ship.

We build quality, safety, and integrity into everything we do. Vibrant Ingredients facilities operate under a GFSI-recognized food safety scheme—each ingredient is backed by testing, traceability, and a quality system designed to perform the same way. Every time.

STRATEGIC MANUFACTURING SITES FOR UNINTERRUPTED SUPPLY

Our manufacturing network spans four strategically located U.S. facilities, each independently certified to global food safety standards and each organic and kosher-compliant. We’ve built redundancy into our network purposefully: Vista, CA, and Indianapolis, IN, share cold brew coffee extraction and beverage manufacturing capabilities. Eustis, FL, and Indianapolis, IN, share spinning cone extraction technology for tea and botanical processing. Indianapolis and Melville, NY, both offer flavor emulsions. If one site faces a disruption, your supply chain is covered.

TRUST THE PROCESS

CERTIFIED. VERIFIED. SATISFIED.

Certifications set the standard, but it’s our processes that ensure compliance. Every ingredient leaving a Vibrant Ingredients facility passes through process controls engineered for consistency, like:

  • HTST pasteurization and micro-filtration to manage microbial risk
  • Patented single-pass cold brew extraction that delivers the same flavor profile whether it’s the first batch of the day or the last
  • Fully enclosed spinning cone extraction that protects tea and botanical ingredients from contamination while preserving potency.
  • Extensive testing of our Food Protection & Preservation ingredients to ensure confidence and consistency

Quality Sourcing

Our commitment to quality begins long before an ingredient reaches our facilities. Over the years, we have built strong relationships with trusted suppliers who share our dedication to exceptional standards. By partnering closely across our internal teams, we ensure that every raw material we source meets our strict quality and food safety benchmarks—providing our food and beverage manufacturer partners with high-quality, safe, and wholesome plant-based ingredients that consistently meet the expectations of our customers.
