With its Nature’s Choice and Sunlight Foods brands, Nature’s Choice is a leading manufacturer of quality dressings, sauces and salad products. We are headquartered in Miami, Florida, at our multi-million dollar, state-ofthe-art manufacturing and distribution facility. All of our products are blended, packaged, inventoried and delivered under strict quality control guidelines, resulting in lasting perfection, stability, and gourmet taste, providing optimum performance to our customers. Nature’s Choice and Sunlight Foods brands are supported by an organization of research and development professionals that include an on-site food technologist, a food chemist, and a nutritionist.

Offering kosher products is another important step toward meeting the rising expectations of our customers, enabling us to appeal to a broader base of consumers. The coveted OU symbol is one of the best-known trademarks in the world. It is a sign of quality as well as kosher certification. The OU symbol is recognized by kosher consumers as proof that our products meet the strictest standards of kosher. Another advantage of OU certification is that it helps propel Nature’s Choice and Sunlight Foods to higher sales.

It is very challenging to comply with the requirements of the OU kosher program. The process takes time, including the initial inspection, evaluation, ingredient compliance, re-inspection and certification; however, the benefits are worth it.

The high standard of maintaining the kosher program at Sunlight Foods and Nature’s Choice results from the tireless efforts of kosher coordinator Peter Lane, which have enabled the company to have
a long and mutually beneficial relationship with the Orthodox Union. Through hard work and effort and with help from Rabbi David Bistricer, the OU Rabbinic Coordinator, and Rabbi Manish Spitz, the
rabbinic field representative, we control all areas pertaining to the updating of Schedule A, Schedule B, storage areas, policy issues and labels, thereby addressing all ingredients used in kosher and nonkosher products manufactured at Nature’s Choice.
