BF Suma Pharmaceutical Inc. (BF Suma) announced
today that its two California manufacturing facilities have received GMP
(good manufacturing practice) approval from National Sanitation Foundation
(NSF) International. NSF International is an independent, not-for-profit
organisation that regulates standards, tests and registers products and
facilities across many industries. NSF’s goal is to protect and improve human
health on a global scale.
NSF conducted a thorough independent review of
BF Suma’s facilities, procedures, sanitation practices and manufacturing systems.
BF Suma pursued the registration designation as part of its commitment to
quality assurance. “The NSF approval demonstrates our commitment to producing
the highest quality products. Independent third party validation of ingredient
quality is an advantage our customers can use to orientate themselves in the
market. We have always believed that the underlying value of BF Suma has
been our guarantee for the quality, potency, composition and purity of all the
products manufactured at our facility for the customer.” Mike Ma, Vice
President of Manufacturing and Supply at Bright Future said.
Earning GMP registration from NSF
International verifies that BF Suma’s facility has the proper methods,
equipment, facilities, and controls in place for supplying dietary supplement
ingredients. NSF Dietary Supplement Certification includes laboratory testing,
formulation reviews and plant audits to determine conformance to FDA Dietary
Supplements cGMP standard (FDA’s 21 CFR
part 111 ). The
standard provides methodology and evaluation criteria to verify ingredient
identities and quantities, test criteria for specific contaminants and
conformance to GMPs.
The NSF GMP registration builds upon the ISO
22716 GMP certificate for Cosmetics, awarded to BF Suma earlier this
year.
