KING OF PRUSSIA, PA — The Global Retailer and Manufacturer Alliance (GRMA) has introduced its new Dietary Supplement Product Integrity Program, aiming to elevate transparency and trust within the supplement industry. Developed through collaboration with a wide range of industry stakeholders, the program represents a vital step toward ensuring product integrity.
This initiative brings together key partners, HealthLOQ and the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), to enhance the program’s standards. HealthLOQ contributes cutting-edge blockchain technology for document protection, ensuring authenticity and confidentiality in testing reports. Meanwhile, ANAB, a leading accreditation body, provides rigorous assessment services, bolstering consumer trust in product testing.
The program sets clear criteria for manufacturers, laboratories, and retailers, focusing on confirming product identity, strength, and purity while ensuring they are free from undeclared adulterants and unacceptable contaminants. These standards help address existing gaps in the industry, aiming to improve the supply chain’s integrity and reliability.
In its controlled launch phase, the program is being adopted by several major U.S. and international retailers and service companies. This phase is designed to gather feedback and optimize the program’s features, facilitating seamless integration into current quality assurance systems.
“The controlled rollout of the GRMA’s Product Integrity Program signifies a major milestone, demonstrating our unwavering dedication to advancing product quality and safety,” stated Allyn Shultis, Executive Director of GRMA. The initiative is set to establish new benchmarks for integrity and enhance consumer decision-making.
Companies participating in the initial phase will benefit from early access to the program’s resources, including exclusive logos and marketing support, positioning them as leaders in product integrity. Through this program, GRMA aims to foster a marketplace where consumers can confidently choose safe and reliable dietary supplements.
