UAS Labs unique secured this certification in just 17 months after gaining occupancy of its new facility.
When asked about the abbreviated timeline, Kim Rivard, Director of Quality, said: "We had the unique experience of building this facility from the ground up, which allowed us to design and engineer quality into each step of the probiotic fermentation process.
