Rhythm Superfoods Gets Prestigious USDA Stamp of Approval for Organic Certification

AUSTIN, TX, March 13, 2011

Rhythm Superfoods, a producer of great-tasting raw, vegan and nutritious food products, has just elevated its standing in the snack food industry by obtaining official USDA Organic Certification. This recognition allows the company to place United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Quality Assurance International (QAI) logos on the packaging of its products, letting consumers and retailers know that the company is further dedicated to healthy living.

After 9 months of preparation and a year of producing delectable top-of-the-line organic snack foods, including vitamin-rich kale chips and newly introduced sweet potato chips, Rhythm Superfoods proudly announces the earning of this acclaimed certification from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The brand's Lewisville, Texas facility, which produces all Rhythm Superfoods products, underwent a comprehensive assessment that included allergen control systems, personnel, plant and laboratory practices, and handling and use of organic ingredients. With the passing of this inspection, the company can now place certified USDA Organic and QAI logos on the packaging of its products, and bring heart-healthy snack foods to the public in a comforting new way.

"Achieving organic certification is something Rhythm Superfoods has always strived for, as we are continuously setting the bar for our products and the ingredients that go into them at the highest level," said Rhythm Superfoods Co-Founder and Creative Director Keith Wahrer. "It is an honor that the USDA has recognized our standards, and we know consumers will continue to see us as leaders in the nutritional snack foods category."

Rhythm Superfoods products are made using the highest quality organic ingredients like organic, fresh kale and organic, wholesome sweet potatoes that are hand-washed and air crisped at low temperatures, resulting in healthy, raw, crunchy and flavorful treats.
