Ingredient Verification Program for Dietary Ingredients

The global supply chain is complex and vulnerable to disruptions, as many intermediaries play a role in a product’s production, distribution, and delivery. But disruptions and changes to your supply chain do not have to mean compromising quality.

USP’s Ingredient Verification Program for Dietary Ingredients helps ensure the quality of dietary ingredients, in addition to supporting the qualification of suppliers.

The program can help a company differentiate itself and its products in a competitive global market. USP verifies some of the most common ingredients, such as vitamins and minerals.

 

For ingredient suppliers, the program:

  • Demonstrates the quality of ingredients to customers
  • Helps differentiate ingredients from others in the market
  • Strengthens confidence that current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) and product quality standards have been met for continual improvement

For dietary ingredient manufacturers, independent third-party verification helps mitigate risk to your supply chain by:

  • Helping to qualify suppliers
  • Helping reduce inspections costs
  • Building confidence in ingredient quality
  • Reducing risk of inconsistent, substandard quality ingredients

USP’s Ingredient Verification Program for Dietary Ingredients includes:

  • Auditing manufacturing sites for conformance with cGMPs
  • Reviewing quality control and manufacturing (QCM) product documentation
  • Testing product samples in laboratories
  • Monitoring annually with cGMP audits, QCM documentation reports and product testing
