KING OF PRUSSIA, PA, UNITED STATES, October 2, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Global Retailer and Manufacturer Alliance (GRMA), a prominent leader with setting and upholding quality standards within the dietary supplement product category, proudly announces the controlled launch of its Dietary Supplement Product Integrity Program. This program was developed through consensus with various industry representatives, including major retailers, manufacturers, brands, TIC organizations, accreditation bodies, trade organizations, and more.

The launch of this program marks a significant step forward in GRMA's commitment to public health and increases the confidence of product integrity within the supply chain. This new program is being launched with two key partners and industry advocates, HealthLOQ and the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB).

Innovative Collaboration for Enhanced Product Integrity:
The Product Integrity Program is designed to revolutionize transparency, credibility, and scientific integrity within the Dietary Supplement Category and provide consumers with what they expect:
• Confirmed Identity & Composition
• Specified Strength & Purity
• Clear of Undeclared Adulterants
• Free from Unacceptable Contaminants

The GRMA’s program establishes a clear set of criteria for manufacturers, labs, and retailers and incorporates several normative references and regulatory requirements. Through the integration of these components, the GRMA's program effectively addresses several industry gaps and enhances supply chain confidence. Organizations demonstrating conformance to the program's requirements may be eligible for a letter of attestation or potentially an ISO 17025 accreditation scope expansion.

Controlled Launch and Comprehensive Rollout:
The controlled launch version of the program is already accepted across several major US and international retailers, service companies, and pharmacies.

The first phase of the comprehensive rollout plan is designed to solicit feedback, optimize program features, and ensure seamless integration into existing quality assurance frameworks. This phase will involve close collaboration with selected industry participants, allowing GRMA, HealthLOQ, and ANAB to refine the program based on real-world application and feedback.

Impact on the Industry:
"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. "With the introduction of this program, we aim to set new benchmarks for integrity, foster harmonization, and cultivate a marketplace where consumers can confidently make informed product decisions."

Participating companies in the controlled launch phase will gain early access to program benefits, including unique program logos, marketing support, and recognition as leaders in product integrity.
