What is NSF and Why do I want it?

You may have seen this little symbol at some point in time, but you may be unclear on what it stands for.

NSF (National Science Foundation) is an International organization that holds the highest standard of safety in the market. But what is it?

Public Health & Safety organization that is not-for-profit/non-governmental world leader in standards development, product certification, education and risk-assessment for public health & safety.

The NSF Mark is recognized globally for its value and is respected by regulatory agencies at the local, state and federal level.

So what does that mean for you as a consumer? When you purchase an NSF product, you can be guaranteed of 3 things:

1. Constructed from Food Safe Materials
2. Design has been tested for durability and clean-ability by meeting specific production qualifications
3. Held to exacting standards across the board — from production to final delivery, the product was designed to meet if not exceed specific criteria

With those aspects in mind, you can see why NSF products will be more of an investment than those that have not been certified. However, the value behind these products is immeasurable.

We at Service Ideas take pride in our work, and are pleased to have increased our NSF Certified offerings by adding products such as our Signa-Air airpots, Flow Control Carafes and Portion Control Server. In addition, by partnering with companies such as Stanley® Commercial — who offer nothing but NSF Certified products — we are able to pass some of these great items onto you, the consumer.

We hope you’ve found this blog post helpful, and we look forward to serving you soon.
