Case Study: How NSF Validates the Food Safety Credentials of OZZI Reusable Food Containers

Sustainability in food service is no longer optional — but proving that sustainable solutions meet the highest food safety standards is where many organizations face friction. That’s where OZZI stands apart.

Based in Rhode Island, OZZI has built a reusable container system designed to reduce waste, eliminate single-use disposables, and enable full circularity. As the company expands globally, including into the UK and EU, maintaining trust across diverse food service environments has become critical.

To support this growth, OZZI trusted NSF to validate its reusable containers against NSF/ANSI Standard 2 – Food Equipment. Through rigorous testing, auditing and independent verification, NSF certification ensures OZZI products meet strict requirements for safety, hygiene and performance — giving customers confidence in both sustainability and compliance.

Today, OZZI’s NSF-certified containers are helping organizations eliminate millions of single-use items, reduce operational costs, and shift toward more responsible consumption models — all without compromising on food safety.

From early-stage design reviews to final product certification, NSF plays an ongoing role in OZZI’s innovation process — providing clarity to support informed decision‑making, compliance and effective product launches. This relationship has been central to its growth and credibility, enabling the company to scale its impact while staying ahead of evolving regulations.
