November 26, 2024
In the competitive world of dietary supplements, trust and quality are non-negotiable. For consumer supplement brands, the NSF/ANSI 455-2 GMP certification is more than just a seal — it’s a testament to the adherence of rigorous standards for Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
At American Health Formulations, one of the premier NSF certified companies in North America, we take pride in being at the forefront of this certification, ensuring that every product meets the gold standard of quality, safety, and compliance.
What is the NSF/ANSI 455-2 GMP Certification?
The NSF/ANSI 455-2 GMP Certification is a globally recognized standard for Good Manufacturing Practices in dietary supplement manufacturing. Established by NSF International, this certification ensures:
- Consistency in Quality: Every supplement batch is manufactured, packaged, and stored with the same high quality practices.
- Safety Assurance: Products are free from contaminants or unsafe levels of ingredients.
- Regulatory Compliance: Adherence to FDA requirements and international regulations.
For supplement brands, working with NSF certified manufacturers not only boosts consumer confidence, but also opens doors to retail partnerships that demand the highest standards.
NSF/ANSI 455 GMP Certification: With input from industry representatives, public health officials, regulators, and consumer-interest groups, NSF facilitated the development of the NSF/ANSI 455 GMP audit standards for the dietary supplement, cosmetics, and OTC drug manufacturers and packagers, as well as for warehousing and distribution companies. These standards encompass regulatory requirements, retailer quality requirements, and industry best practices and are designed to strengthen safety, quality, and trust throughout the supply chain.
