It has been in business for over 125 years and takes pride in long standing customer relationships, many of which exceed 60 years. Products are pro- duced in the Philippines from the freshest nuts available, at one of its three manufac- turing facilities, where proprietary process- ing is utilized to ensure freshness and long shelf stability. Franklin Baker controls the process from tree through shipment, allow- ing customers to have the highest level of safety and confidence in the product supply chain. Franklin Baker sets itself apart with the following: wet steam pasteurization of all the coconut – no other competitor pas- teurizes their product; BAX testing for sal- monella, which is 10,000 times more sensitive than the competition's BAM method; reliable and proven service levels for all products including specialty items; R&D and technical support direct from the Philippines; Franklin Baker guarantee of satisfaction; and three U.S. warehouse lo- cations.

Franklin Baker is proud of its extensive third-party certifications and accreditations, including: USDA Organic, Non-GMO Proj- ect Verified, Fair Trade USA, BRC, Control Global Organics: Trusted Source for Organic Certified Ingredients Demand for organic products continues to rise as more consumers, especially millenni- als, become aware of the transparency and integrity of the organic food supply chain. The USDA organic seal is gaining trust as consumers learn what this highly regulated certification represents (non-GMO, no toxic pesticides or chemicals, no antibiotics, no ar- tificial ingredients). The United States is the largest market for organic products globally; however, North America has the second smallest amount of organic agricultural land. Global Organics helps bridge the supply gap for organic in- gredients so food companies can continue to meet growing demands. Started in 1992, Global Organics is a leading importer and supplier of certified organic, non-GMO and fair-trade ingredients. The company is dedi- cated to delivering consistent and high-qual- ity organic ingredients while also providing outstanding service and value. That's why the company carefully selects vendors and only partners with sustainable agricultural projects that benefit their communities, and ultimately, the planet. Global Organics builds collaborative relationships based on mutual trust, honesty and integrity with cus- tomers and suppliers who share its commit- ment to quality and social and environmental standards. Global Organics offers a variety of sweet- eners, including organic granulated cane sugar, small crystal sugar, liquid sugar, invert cane syrup, powdered sugar and brown sugar. Organic cane sugar is sourced exclu- sively from the Native Green Cane Project Continued on Page 20 Continued on Page 20
