Certifications
& compliance.

Site-level certifications across food safety, organic, kosher and halal, alcohol, dietary supplement, personal care, and category-specific compliance frameworks — maintained as operating disciplines, audit-ready year-round.

Quality & Compliance

Audit readiness is an operating discipline.

Certifications are easy to list and hard to maintain. At McClary, every certification is owned by a four-layer quality organization — site-level QA, line-level QA, business-unit quality leadership, and corporate quality oversight — with credentialed regulatory science on staff. Site certifications vary by category and location; the table below summarizes the frameworks held across the network. Specific site-level certificates are available on request as part of supplier qualification.

How Certifications Work in the Network

Site-level, network-coordinated.

Certifications operate at the site level — each production site holds the certifications appropriate to its category and customer requirements. Not every site holds every certification, and that's intentional: maintaining a certification has real operational cost, and forcing every site to carry every framework would dilute focus and inflate cost without adding value. Instead, sites are certified for the categories they actually produce, and work is routed to the appropriate site within the network based on the certification requirements of the program.

Across the network, this means McClary can support brands with virtually any combination of certification requirements — kosher dairy, organic supplements, MoCRA-compliant personal care, halal beverages, USDA-inspected operations, dedicated allergen-controlled production — by routing the work to sites with the right combination of capability and certification. Specific site-level certificates and audit reports are available on request as part of standard supplier qualification.

Maintenance of certifications is owned by the four-layer quality organization. Site-level QA owns daily compliance. Line-level QA owns process-level documentation. Business-unit quality leadership owns category-specific frameworks (dietary supplement, personal care, dairy, etc.). Corporate quality oversight owns network-wide standards and serves as the escalation path for audit findings. Recertification timelines are tracked centrally to avoid the lapses that often catch single-site operators by surprise.
