Selling vitamins, any regulation procedure you know off hand?

[glacier922]

I'm thinking of selling vitamins, but since it's a good product, I'm thinking there must be some food safety regulations u must go they first, anyone have experience with this?

Usually the vitamin manufacturing company will deal with this so that when their product hits the market, it's good to go for sales...unless you are in manufacturing process?!?

I have consulted on nutraceutical and vitamin project startups in the past so I know of the manufacturing side

Really rsot? Are your vitamins coming out of China? (Like everything else, lol), cuz u know, those baby tainted formulas and all those bad press of course. I think it should be safe, but don't want to get sued if someone gets sick, want to cover my azz if u know what I mean.

you mean your own label right? You can get domestic suppliers, they exist in UK and definately USA, they package it with your own label and flat boxes that cost less to post.

these companies follow regulations...I would not dream of buying from china personally, not for ingestables...

warning, alot of competition drives down prices. You often make just 10% type profit

unless you source from the USA, you're going to be taking a risk. may even get stopped at cu.stoms.

but like others stated, it's going to be that manufacturer's responsibility to comply with FDA, not you.

I actually had with payment processors with (US goods) not wanting to take in orders through their mediums
