Nutraceutical powder products have become a household staple for nearly 77% of Americans, who take at least one supplement a day. (National Library of Medicine) But as these products have risen in popularity, there has been “no global consensus on the regulatory processes for nutraceuticals”, leaving many companies in the dark as to how they can protect their product and consumers. To ensure the quality and safety of their nutraceutical powder products, these businesses must develop their own food safety practices. This often includes confirming that the equipment they purchase comes with features that promote hygiene and cleanability.
When it comes to packaging, sanitary nutraceutical powder fillers are an essential component to enhancing the food safety of your production. Read on to learn more.
