Amazon Testing Requirements for Dietary Supplements
Dietary Supplements Since 2021, Amazon has mandated certain specifications for dietary supplements sold on its platform
In summary, this includes:
- A Certificate of Analysis (COA) from an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory of declared dietary ingredients issued within the last 12 months OR participation in a third-party quality certification programs (specified).
- A valid good manufacturing practice (GMP) certificate issued by an accredited third-party certification body for the manufacturing facility of the finished product.
- Product images.
Lab issued COA’s must include the following information:
- Complete product name
- Batch number, lot number, or date code of the unexpired finished product sample that was tested
- Name, address, and ISO accreditation number of the laboratory issuing the COA
- The laboratory’s authorized representative’s signature, printed name, and title on the COA
- Results from a laboratory assay performed to support the amount per unit or per serving of each dietary ingredient claimed on the applicable facts panel
- Must include a reference to the test method used for each dietary ingredient listed. If the test method is novel, not an Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) Official Method of Analysis, or is a modified version of these, or is in-house, the principle of the method should be stated (such as HPLC or GC). Actual data and observations should be recorded rather than non-specific “passes” or “conforms” statements.
