Compiled by Ladd McNamara, M.D.
1. USANA is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, which includes a state-of-the-art, FDA registered manufacturing facility. The FDA and a variety of government agencies conduct on- going periodic inspections of the facility, raw materials, manufacturing practices, and the end products.
2. USANA’s Salt Lake City headquarters-manufacturing facility is certified to be in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) requirements set forth in NSF/ANSI Standard 173-2012, Dietary Supplements by NSF International, and it also became a registered U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Drug Establishment in 2011.
3. USANA’s commitment to excellence demands that it meets all GMP criteria set forth for the pharmaceutical industry. Prior to any legal requirements, at a time when most other dietary supplement makers followed GMP standards set for the food industry, USANA voluntarily followed the higher GMP standards set for the pharmaceutical industry. These standards set for the pharmaceutical industry, called Good Manufacturing Practices or GMP, set specific criteria for essential aspects of the manufacturing process such as the design and construction of the physical plant and facility maintenance, cleanliness, proper manufacturing operations, quality control procedures, testing final product, testing incoming process materials, the design and construction of physical plants that facilitate maintenance, handling consumer complaints, maintaining records at all stages of manufacturing, and waste disposal.
4. USANA’s Salt Lake City headquarters-manufacturing facility has received NSF International Certification of GMP manufacturing established for dietary supplements, and receives on-going inspections by NSF International on their raw materials, manufacturing facility and process, and the finished products to maintain the NSF Certification.
6. USANA purchases raw ingredients from various global suppliers, which come with Certificates of Analysis that the raw ingredients are potent, pure, and free of contaminants.
7. USANA takes extra steps that are not required in the dietary supplement industry to ensure quality by testing the potency and purity of already certified raw ingredients, to ensure that the potency and purity is what is stated to be on the certificates. Numerous tests are conducted at USANA’s manufacturing facility to ensure not only the potency and purity is what is stated, but they also test for contaminants.
