Natrol has been recently certified by the Natural Products Association (NPA) current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) certification program which incorporates the FDA final cGMP rule.
Jenia Khudagulyan, senior vice president of operations at Natrol, said: “This certification gives Natrol great pride in knowing that the company’s product manufacturing process meets NPA cGMP standards which now incorporates the FDA’s new regulations for dietary supplements.
“The NPA cGMP certification also serves as added confidence for consumers and retailers who rely on Natrol’s reputation for quality products that are in FDA compliance.”
With a leadership role in promoting quality standards, NPA developed proactive, self-regulatory programs for this purpose, and was the first organisation to offer a third-party GMP certification program specific to the manufacturing of dietary supplements and dietary ingredients.
The NPA cGMP certification program is based upon comprehensive third-party inspections of the manufacturing facilities, including on-site audits, and cGMP-related documentation to verify compliance to the requirements of NPA cGMP standards.
Natrol has received an ‘A’ compliance rating following a recent NPA cGMP audit, thus qualifying the company for cGMP certification and use of the NPA GMP certification mark for meeting a high level of compliance to the NPA cGMP standards.
