“The reality is, by our [UNPA] estimates, 60-80% of the ingredients that end up in dietary supplements on the shelves of our stores come from China...it’s the Wild West out there, folks.”
— Frank Lampe, VP, Communications & Industry Relations, UNPA
Highlights:
Transparency in the supply chain is critical to improving finished product quality.
USP, NSF and eurofins are GMP certifications that represent the gold standard for dietary supplement quality.
Signed in 2011, the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is a preventative vs. reactionary measure; it affects every single product on retail shelves.
Every manufacturer has to develop a food safety plan for every single product they manufacture, which results in lots of paperwork, auditing and testing.
Foreign Supplier Verification Programs (FSVP) enforcement should increase as time goes on.
