At Gum Products International Inc. (GPI), we’ve always believed that clean-label innovation and strong food safety go hand in hand. That’s why I’m excited to share that our vinegar-based antimicrobial solutions are now officially certified organic under the Canada Organic Regime (COR) through Pro-Cert Organic Systems Ltd..
This certification reinforces our commitment to delivering natural, chemical-free tools for processors who want to enhance bacterial inhibition, strengthen food safety programs, and achieve shelf life extension without compromising on clean-label standards.
The certified products include:
Ecco 4.8 Organic - Mold Prevention in baked goods and ready to eat meals
Ecco 4.8-50 Organic B - Mold Prevention in baked goods and ready to eat meals
Ecco 4.8D80 Organic - Mold Prevention in baked goods and ready to eat meals
Mulled Vinegar 6.2 Organic - Shelf-life extension in fresh and processed meat products
These products are certified to Canadian COR standards, with US and EU equivalency — making them suitable for processors who serve both domestic and global markets.
Our organic vinegar-based antimicrobials are designed to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria like Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes. Because they’re natural and highly functional, they offer processors a clean-label alternative to traditional chemical preservatives.
Beyond pathogen control, they help:
✅ Extend product shelf life naturally
🧪 Enhance food safety with targeted bacterial inhibition
🌿 Meet organic and regulatory standards in multiple markets
🏭 Work across protein, bakery, sauce, and prepared food applications
In today’s food industry, the demand for natural, organic, and transparent ingredients is stronger than ever. Processors need solutions that not only deliver functionality but also align with consumer expectations.
With this new organic certification, we can help our partners meet that demand — supporting clean-label claims, reducing food safety risks, and protecting products against resistant bacteria while improving operational efficiency.
This milestone is more than just a certification for us. It’s a reflection of our ongoing mission: to empower food processors with innovative, natural tools that enhance safety, quality, and shelf life.
We’re proud to bring this level of quality assurance to the food industry. Our vinegar-based antimicrobials give processors a trusted, organic-certified solution to address modern food safety challenges — without compromising flavor, texture, or label integrity.
If you’re looking to strengthen your food safety strategy, improve bacterial inhibition, and achieve shelf life extension while maintaining clean-label status, we’d love to work with you.
