UL Information & Insights launches online marketplace for Dietary Supplement Industry

This online proprietary platform:

The global economy and increased overseas sourcing has created complex and opaque supply chains, just at a time when heightened regulatory and media attention and consumer awareness are holding dietary supplement producers to higher standards. UL ClearView’s supply chain validation and independent audits help to mitigate the complex realities of today’s volatile world and safeguard laborers and the public.

"Voluntary self-regulation and visibility into a quality assurance program can help mitigate oversight, and ultimately increase consumer confidence," says Michael O’Hara, General Manager of Global Nutraceuticals for UL.

"UL ClearView is designed to help drive transparency in dietary supplement programs by providing a window into product and supplier compliance to regulatory and retailer requirements all in one place, online. Through this single source of information UL ClearView helps facilitate faster data exchange to open lines of communication while enabling commerce."

UL ClearView’s integrated supply chain information system provides regulatory data necessary for compliance with complex regulations while helping suppliers and their customers meet their goals of placing higher quality products in the marketplace.

Quality assurance data for current and new products, as well as testing and manufacturing audit reports, are housed in one location to provide in-depth, real-time reporting and visibility.
