Manufacturing Methods
The production process used at our facility is a distinct slab process designed and engineered exclusively for Shandiz Natural Foods. This process is unique and simple. It involves minimal processing and no baking of the ingredients or finished product. Whole nuts, delicious fruits, nutritious seeds and/or hearty grains are blended with wholesome sweeteners. What differentiates this method from other production processes is that it maintains the physical and nutritional integrity of the product while cooking or baking often serves to destroy precious nutrients such as vitamins and enzymes. You get delicious taste – just as nature intended.
Shandiz operates using Just in Time (JIT) production. This means products at Shandiz Natural Foods are produced to ship immediately and our ingredients are purchased to be used immediately. This translates in the delivery of the freshest product possible, with short lead times for our customers.
At Shandiz, we source only quality ingredients. But it does not stop there. To us, quality is more than just the ingredient itself. We always seek to purchase from suppliers and growers that practice and promote ethical business practices. For example, our cocoa and coffee ingredients are all fair trade certified!
Product Varieties
Our plant is certified organic and kosher and has been for over 15 years. We are also a dairy free facility.
