Nu-Tek BioSciences, a Minnetonka-based leader in animal-origin-free (AOF) peptones and yeast extracts, has renewed its halal certification through The Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America (IFANCA).
The move ensures the company’s products continue to meet the growing demand for ethically sourced ingredients in biopharmaceutical, biotechnology, and industrial fermentation industries.
Halal certification is increasingly vital for markets in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, which are implementing stricter standards for 2026. By maintaining these credentials, Nu-Tek not only meets technical requirements but also aligns with the cultural and ethical expectations of global partners.
CEO Tom Yezzi emphasised the company’s dual focus on science and market needs, saying: “Our goal is to provide high-quality, animal-free materials that comply with both regulatory and cultural standards. This certification helps us support biopharmaceutical hubs around the world.”
Alongside its kosher and organic certifications and its proprietary Variability Reduction Programme, Nu-Tek continues to provide reliable raw materials solutions for the biopharmaceutical industry.
