Supplement Safety & Compliance Initiative (SSCI)

The dietary supplement industry in the food sector needed to streamline and standardize its procedures to enhance product safety and cater to the needs of a global market. To address the existing gaps and simplify the certification process, the Supplement Safety and Compliance Initiative (SSCI) was established to benchmark the current food supplement standards.

The SSCI is a non-profit organization that unites significant retailers, distributors, suppliers, and manufacturers of raw materials, as well as finished product manufacturers, certifying bodies, and specialists in the safety, compliance, and quality control of dietary supplements.

Why get SSCI certified?

Companies that adopt the SSCI framework can demonstrate adherence to safety and quality management criteria, facilitate ongoing enhancements to their processes and operational efficacy, and safeguard their brand image.

SSCI is directed by retailers and propelled by the industry:

• The SSCI provides unrestricted entry for suppliers and producers to contribute to the adoption of superior techniques in benchmarking, testing protocols, microbiological standards, safety measures, and shelf stability.
• The primary focus of the SSCI is to enhance traceability and identification procedures to ensure optimal safety for end-users.
• The SSCI collaborates with GFSI, which has achieved tremendous success in implementing its standards throughout the grocery industry.

Customers and end-users are increasingly requesting more transparency, traceability, quality, safety, and sustainability, all of which can be achieved through SSCI certification. Furthermore, SSCI audits are accepted by Amazon and Walmart.
