MAIN STREET EARNS GMP CERTIFICATION - June 28, 2007
LA CROSSE, WI, June 28, 2007 – Main Street Ingredients is pleased to announce Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Registration through NSF International’s Dietary Supplement Certification program. Main Street Ingredients is a supplier of dairy and food ingredients and a private-label manufacturer for the sports nutrition, health and natural foods industries.
GMPs are regulatory requirements that provide guidelines for necessary processes, procedures and documentation to assure the product produced has the identity, strength, composition, quality and purity it is represented to possess. NSF conducted a plant audit to verify compliance with GMPs and will conduct periodic audits at Main Street’s facility to ensure continued conformance. GMPs for the current NSF Dietary Supplements Program are included in NSF American National Standard 173-Dietary Supplements, the only American National Standard for Dietary Supplement.
Main Street’s GMP registration reflects their continued commitment to ensuring quality and satisfaction and assures its customers that the company conforms to established GMPs. For meeting all requirements included in NSF’s GMP Registration Program, Main Street Ingredients received an NSF GMP registration certificate and is now listed on the NSF Web site.
“NSF is a highly reputable organization,” said Bill Schmitz, President. “Certification of our GMPs for dietary supplements by NSF is a great accomplishment for our company.”
"Main Street’s GMP registration demonstrates their commitment to meeting stringent quality procedures," said Dave Abney, general manager, NSF’s Dietary Supplements and Functional Foods Certification Program. "NSF’s ongoing audits will ensure continued conformance as the new FDA GMPs are promulgated."
“Reaching this goal was a team effort by many departments at Main Street,” Schmitz continued. “Our employees are dedicated and hard working—they continually demonstrate their commitment to quality.”
