Dietary Supplement Makers Have New Guidelines For Ensuring Manufacturing Integrity

A self-regulatory alliance of dietary supplement trade groups has issued new manufacturing guidelines to help the industry maintain supply chain integrity. The guidelines from the Standardized Information on Dietary Ingredients (SIDI) Work Group outlines how dietary supplement manufacturers may establish their own ingredient supplier qualification program to determine if an ingredient supplier is suitable as a provider of raw materials. “The dietary supplement industry as a whole needs to improve its track record on current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) compliance,” said SIDI official Duffy MacKay.
