ACERTA Certification and Inspection Pty Ltd (ACI) provides independent Vegan certification for Australian food, beverage and cosmetic producers. We verify that your products and processes exclude animal inputs and certify where the evidence supports it.

What is Vegan certification?

Vegan certification verifies that a product contains no animal-derived ingredients or processing aids, and that production controls prevent cross-contact with animal-derived materials.

What our certification involves

• Review of full ingredient and processing aid declarations
• Assessment of supplier documentation and specification control
• On-site audit of shared equipment, cleaning and changeover practice
• Review of labelling and claim substantiation
• Verification of traceability and corrective action
• Certification followed by scheduled surveillance audits

Why organisations certify

• Independent substantiation of a vegan claim
• Reduces exposure to misleading-claim risk under Australian Consumer Law
• Increasingly expected by retailers and consumers
• A recognised mark that shortens the buying decision

Our role

ACERTA Certification and Inspection Pty Ltd is a certification body. We audit and certify — we do not design, document or implement management systems for the organisations we assess. That separation is what gives our certificates value to the customers, regulators and trading partners who rely on them.
