Melbourne, FL  – April 13, 2012

Terry Laboratories, the world’s oldest and largest Aloe Vera supplier, announced today that they have received self-affirmed GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status on the most wide-sweeping number of Aloe Vera products in the Aloe Vera Industry.

The members of an expert panel have “individually and collectively performed critical appraisals” of the various Aloe Vera raw materials submitted by Terry Laboratories and concluded that those products were considered GRAS for their intended use in foods.”

“Terry Laboratories is one of two Aloe suppliers with Self Affirmed GRAS status,” said Jim Gambino, Executive Vice President of Terry.  “We are very pleased with this achievement.”  “ We chose to submit a wide range of our products instead of tying the approval to process method – limited to powders,” said Mick Anderson, Director of Sales for Terry Laboratories.  “We now have fifteen (15) products, all certified PURE by the International Aloe Science Council (IASC) which fall under the new GRAS status – the widest selection of powders, liquids and liquid concentrates in the Industry.”

Terry Laboratories is now one of the world’s largest suppliers of High Quality Ultra Refined Shea Butter.

Our shea butter is available in all natural and organic certified qualities and is never processed with solvents or preservatives.

Shea Butter is used in a wide variety of cosmetic applications as well as topical ointments, creams and lotions and because of its high content of unsaponifiable matter it is most applicable for facial, hand and body care products giving them a pleasant and silky smooth feel to the skin.

We are proud to announce our new warehouse and secondary distribution center in McAllen, TX, to better serve the needs of our customers.  This facility allows us to ship Aloe Vera gels to the Western half of the US in a more timely and less expensive venue.
