METAGENICS
EARNS NNFA GMP CERTIFICATION
WITH SOLID ‘A’ RATING
SAN CLEMENTE,
CA—October 3, 2003—Metagenics, Inc., announced that the National
Nutritional Foods Association (NNFA) recently awarded the company Good
Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certification and its sterling ‘A’ rating for
compliance to its rigorous standards. As the largest and oldest non-profit
organization dedicated to the natural products industry in the United States,
the NNFA’s GMP certification program is regarded as the nation’s gold
standard of natural product quality. The goal of the NNFA certification program
is to ensure that all elements of the company’s manufacturing processes meet
specified performance standards on each measure, including quality and disease
control, cleanliness and training, receiving and testing of raw materials, and
procedures for storage and distribution. In a comprehensive audit conducted by
third-party inspectors of Metagenics’ personnel, plants and grounds,
sanitation, equipment, quality operations, production and process controls, and
warehouse, distribution, and post-distribution practices, the company exceeded
the NNFA’s stringent standards to achieve certification.
“Over the last twenty years,
Metagenics has continually set the standard for natural product quality, safety,
and efficacy to become one of the world’s most trusted providers of
premium-quality nutritional products,” said Jeff Katke, Chairman and CEO of
Metagenics. “In recognition of the uncompromising efforts of the employees and
leadership team at Metagenics, we are proud to have successfully achieved NNFA
GMP certification. Many companies may claim they are GMP compliant, but few
allocate the financial resources to independently verify their GMP programs and
achieve GMP certification.”
Metagenics stands apart as the
premier company in the industry—not only making the financial commitment to
maintain NNFA GMP certification, but also to develop sophisticated methods of
proteomic testing to ensure high quality ingredient selection at its proteomics
research laboratory, and to advance clinical research to assess safety and
efficacy at its wholly owned and sponsored clinical research center.
