RFI has worked hard for many years to develop an extensive network of global partners from which we source our ingredients. Each location has unique advantages and ingredients from which we have developed our product portfolio. Also, within each geographical location we are constantly seeking out quality ingredients and opportunities to develop them into meaningful and functional entities for our customers.

Our expertise in ingredient development, accompanied by our international positioning, allows us to discreetly evaluate global opportunities for specific ingredients or opportunities for which our customers have interest. This approach saves considerable time and expense as our people are familiar with local customs and regulations, as well as having established networks within each region.

RFI is committed to supplying only the highest quality ingredients. Beginning with the source of the ingredient, we carefully select our raw materials. Our manufacturing facilities are in full compliance with local and international government standards. And prior to shipping, each finished ingredient is evaluated by QA/QC in our New York laboratory to ensure it meets our customer's specifications.

In terms of technical capabilities, RFI has an inhouse applications laboratory, where we have the capability to perform myriad functions, including full applications research such as functional food and beverage prototypes and savory bases, as well as a full QA/QC program.
