Keurig single-serve machine certified for commercial use

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters has announced that its Keurig K150 Series Commercial Brewing System has been certified by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) for foodservice use. The Keurig K150 Series is the first small to medium capacity Keurig brewing system to be certified for use in foodservice outlets. “Becoming NSF certified is an important step in our focus on the foodservice industry, a key growth channel for our away-from-home business,” Brian P. Kelley, president and CEO of GMCR, said in a statement. “Foodservice represents approximately 65 per cent of coffee purchases outside the home, so it is only natural for us to evolve our offerings to meet the needs of customers and consumers in new marketplaces.” NSF International is an accredited, third-party certification body that tests and certifies products to verify that they meet public health and safety standards intended for commercial foodservice.
