In a letter to Functional Industries Brian J. Boon, President and CEO of CARF, wrote:

"Please be advised that the CARF surveyors made no recommendations, which signifies that they did not identify any areas of nonconformance to the standards. This is an extraordinary accomplishment, as only 3 percent of CARF surveys result in no recommendations.”
