Product Integrity Program

Leverage innovative solutions such as our Dietary Supplement Product Integrity Program, which introduces rigorous standards for product testing and lab recognition. Easily address common industry challenges associated with lab confidence, testing consistency, and product criteria. The Product Integrity Program evaluates dietary supplement testing labs’ ability to establish fit-for-purpose methods that verify products against stated label claims for the “Big 5”: Identity, Composition, Strength, Purity, and Contamination. This assessment process includes both accredited and non-accredited labs. It also extends assessment processes to those with internal calibration and stability programs.

Participation in this program will identify top-tier labs for their expertise in verifying that dietary supplements meet Supplements Facts Panels (SFP) requirements.
