Every year, NFBC manufactures 50 million pouches which it ships to the USA, China, and everywhere in between. The company’s expertise lies in the manufacture of smoothies, baby food, fruit yoghurt, purees, juices, sauces, and FSMPs (Foods for Special Medical Purposes). Products are created across four categories: Infant Nutrition, Sports Nutrition, Adult Nutrition, and Clinical Nutrition. NFBC has fostered long-lasting partnerships with a wide range of clients from SMEs to some of the largest blue-chip organisations in the world, including Top 4 Grocery retailers and pharmaceutical giants in the industry. The company prides itself on the essential role it plays in the wellbeing of infant children across the UK and Europe and was the first manufacturer of the celebrated baby food brand Ella’s Kitchen. In addition to Infant Nutrition, NFBC plays an integral role in the NHS and American Healthcare system by manufacturing Clinical Nutrition products for those who suffer with metabolic disorders. In 2016, NFBC began production of amino acid supplements for Nestle Health Science and Danone to combat inherited metabolic disorders such as PKU (phenylketonuria), MSUD (Maple Syrup Urine Disease), and TYR (Tyrosinemia). If TYR goes untreated, tyrosine can build up in the body and lead to fatal health problems. NFBC’s unwavering commitment to this small population distinguishes the company from competitors who prioritise profit over consumer welfare. Gareth Elliott, Director of Business Development at NFBC, shares, “We treat our customer’s brands as if they were our own, which means that our attention to detail, quality, and compliance are impeccable. That is why we have been awarded the highest, unannounced audit grade of AA+ for the latest BRC version 9 Standard. As we continue to grow, our customers grow with us and we value them all, and we will continue to provide them with the best service that a contract manufacturer can offer.” The consumption of natural, organic food and drink is now regarded by many to be the key to a longer and healthier life. Conscious eating is of vital importance to consumers and NFBC strives to make its nutritious products available to all. With its global reach, the company is able to provide its natural, balanced fruit and vegetable purees to everyone, from smaller start-ups to multi-national organisations. NFBC understands the value of continuous improvement and the meticulous attention to detail required to maintain its reputation. For nearly a decade, NFBC has produced infant nutrition pouches for one of the Top 4 Grocery retailers and its relationship with Nestle Health Science spans almost two decades. The company fosters long-term business relationships built off trust and its dedicated team strive to ensure that clients’ trust is well-founded. NFBC currently holds the title for the highest rated unannounced BRC audit against the latest version 9 standard, assuring clients that the company is committed to achieving and maintaining exceptional quality. Gareth Elliott says, “Reputation is the key to success in staying one step ahead of the competition. Our audit results, both industry and clientrelated, provide us with a platform with which to shout from the rooftops that our reputation precedes us in such a positive manner. “There are many hurdles that come with the territory. Being audited by the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration, for products that we send into the US Healthcare system) and the Organic Certified approval for distribution into the Chinese market, are to name but a few. But NFBC strives for the challenge, and we’re pleased to say that we are winning as a result of these challenges.” Looking to the future, NFBC has numerous pioneering ideas in the works including innovation from clients. One such idea is set to transform the milk industry with its inspired packaging and fuel-reducing mission. In partnership with NFBC, the company has developed a first-to-market nutritional supplement to help those struggling with malnutrition following invasive medical procedures. Over the last two decades, NFBC has become renowned for its worldclass organic food and drink which promotes nutrition and healthy eating for consumers around the world. With clients at its heart, the company offers tailored, flexible solutions that ensure healthy, nutritious products and ingredients are available for everyone. In celebration of its client-centric mission, we are delighted to honour The Natural Fruit and Beverage Company with this year’s award for Best F&B Pouch Manufacturing Company.
