Naturally Splendid Enterprises says Prosnack facility in British Columbia passes annual Safe Quality Food audit

Naturally Splendid Enterprises Ltd (CVE:NSP) (OTCMKTS:NSPDF) announced Wednesday that its Prosnack Natural Foods facility has passed one of the most rigorous food safety and quality audits in the industry. The Safe Quality Food (SQF) program operates within some of the highest standards in the food manufacturing industry and recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative. Taken annually, the successful audit opens additional business opportunities for Naturally Splendid as many large retailers require that products on their shelves must meet SQF standards, the group pointed out.
