Dietary supplement manufacturers must comply with 21 CFR Part 111 (Current Good Manufacturing Practice for dietary supplements). This includes requirements for personnel, facilities, equipment, production, laboratory operations, and record-keeping.
What We Couldn't Verify
- Dual business model. BioGaia sells finished consumer products AND licenses strains B2B; not a pure ingredient supplier
- Manufacturing facilities located in Sweden; on-site inspection was not conducted
- Certification details beyond cGMP not independently verified from public databases
- EU regulatory framework differs from US 21 CFR Part 111
