The Natural Products Association (NPA) and UL are working together to offer increased educational opportunities to NPA members. The education provided through joint NPA and UL efforts will provide online and in-person education for NPA members.
The new education partnership, which will incorporate NPA’s regulatory and compliance seminars, web-based education and personalized, on-site training, along with top-notch training modules from “EduNeering,” the online regulatory training division of UL, is designed to better inform dietary supplement manufacturers, distributors, auditors, retailers and other industry stakeholders on a variety of vital issues via various training platforms. These training platforms include, but are not limited to: How to Prepare for a current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) Inspection, How to Prepare for a Safe Quality Food (SQF) Audit, Label/Labeling Requirements, cGMPs for Manufacturing Plants and Equipment and more.
“Given the combined reputation and expertise of both NPA and UL, our collaborative efforts to bring elevated education to the natural products industry is the logical next step for both organizations,” said NPA CEO Daniel Fabricant, Ph.D. “Our combined vision is to see one program the industry can turn to for dietary supplement education, and we see this being that program. We anticipate this to be the start of a lasting relationship between NPA and UL that will reflect this shared vision and impact our industry in a very profound and meaningful way.”
