What is Certified C.L.E.A.N. & Certified R.A.W. Food Certification?

Given the growing concerns over the safety of the “raw food movement”, the scientific community, health care workers and retailers got together to really understand and appreciate the benefits of raw food and its empirical benefits. Dr. V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai, who holds four degrees from MIT, including his Ph.D. from the Department of Biological Engineering (originally the Food and Nutrition Science Department), organized a series of teleconferences, meetings, and public hearings, and led the drafting of the international standard for raw food. His scientific approach to this problem blended his training in eastern medicine, traditional foods, experiences from his indigenous culture growing up in India as well as his western training in engineering and medicine to develop this standard.

What emerged was one standard which helped not only the raw food community clear confusion and define what is raw food – as food that is Real, Alive and Whole in congruence with principles of the indigenous cultures and formalized and systematized within the western scientific framework – but also a broader standard for all food and supplement manufacturers to help them distinguish themselves as those committed to creating food that is Conscious, Live, Ethical, Active and Nourishing.

This single standard can be used by raw food manufacturers to distinguish their products with the Certified R.A.W. imprimatur as well as all food and supplement manufacturers to distinguish their products with the Certified C.L.E.A.N. imprimatur.
