Has quality control at TNI gone down the drain with quarantined juice spinning out of control and straight into a dumping ground? Recent information that has been provided to us certainly indicates that there are serious quality control problems with the Noni Juice.

UPDATE: MORE INFORMATION AND PICTURES HERE

We all know that Tahitian Noni Juice smells bad and tastes even worse but for many this has been a reason to claim that the worse it is, the better the quality and the more it will cure you. Unfortunately, it is TNI who is in need of a cure to combat the quality control issues that are being reported as causing both significant financial drain and contaminated bottles of juice. With the financial drain putting pressure on TNI it has now become clear that there is an increased risk of having contaminated bottles finding their way down to the consumers.

This contamination has been an ongoing battle for TNI because of the process used to produce the final bottles of Noni Juice that are sold as cure-all miracles. TNI, like many juice producers, prides themselves on their quality control. If that is the case when why is there so much concern over quarantined batches? Before the main component of Noni Juice reaches the bottling plant for processing it is first harvested, which includes both the “fruit” as well as the weeds and plant debris that are contained in barrels for a while where it would probably rot and ferment. Around that time it gets shipped by sea at which point the fermenting noni is enough to make your stomach turn inside out based on stories we have heard who have seen it up close. The heating and flash pasteurization at the processing plant are applied to combat several key problems with potassium levels and yeasts. The contamination with bacteria and microbial side effects are normally dealt with under quality control.

This Quality Control that TNI has always claimed they were proud of must have been been dealt a significant blow with the termination and loss of key employees in charge of QC. These changes, which are a follow-up to the employment termination of Mr. Eldon Pierce, who was previously in control of quality control. As a result QC has been repositioned as a unit under Marketing, which is Mr. Kelly Olsen’s department where the noni juice is now only being tested by random compliance tests which involves testing only a few bottles of juice that pass the quality test and which are subsequently used as a “pass” to ship an entire batch of bottles.

With the termination of employment of those people who were the only line of defense against the nasty mass of rotten compost that is used to create the Noni Juice there is now a higher risk of consumers potentially buying contaminated juice. Not a very healthy situation! We also learned that the quarantined juice products that do not pass quality control are stored in the big warehouse near their bottling plant and that there is a lot of activity there when this quarantined mess is taken away to be dumped and covered up.
