NuTek Food Science, LLC, a company that helps create great-tasting and affordable foods to enhance global health, is pleased to announce the opening of its new 100,000 square foot state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Fargo, ND. The plant is designed to produce its patented and revolutionary NuTek Salt.

This state-of-the-art facility provides the safest environment for food safety, efficiency and flexibility.  The facility is designed to meet the stringent expectations and requirements of the global marketplace and has obtained an SQF (Safe Quality Food) Level 2 certification.

"The opening of the Fargo facility is a milestone in NuTek's brief history, and it better positions NuTek to serve the rapidly expanding volume demands of our customers, both domestically and internationally," said Brian Boor, President and COO of NuTek.

NuTek Salt is made from a simple, yet patented process. Using naturally sourced potassium salt (potassium chloride) from North America and our patented single-crystal technology, we are able to replace regular sodium chloride salt at unprecedented levels – without compromising taste or functionality.
