A selection of some of CRN’s recent quotes and published bylines

“When this industry comes together we are a pretty formidable force. There is a real sense that this year is an opportunity to do something transformative. This is an industry that is listening to the criticisms and is trying to evolve. For the certifiers, we have to say how can we create some common standard that we can measure against. We think this is the right way to go, and this is a moment that may not come again.”

“Consumers are the priority for the dietary supplement industry…We’re encouraged by actions taken by the FDA, Department of Justice and other enforcement agencies that hold companies accountable when they break the law…These kinds of cases should serve as a warning to all companies that there are consequences for serious infractions. At the end of the day, it’s the responsible companies that will be left standing.”

“They rarely have their names on labels...[yet contract manufacturers] have a great deal of accountability for how quality supplements are produced...As GMPs were phased in we saw their position in the supply chain strengthen as many smaller firms recognized that their expertise lay in marketing products, not in manufacturing—leaving that task to sophisticated contract manufacturers who could aggressively implement the GMPs.”
