NutraIngredients-USA Recognizes Botanical
Adulterants Prevention Program with Editors Award for Industry Initiative of
the Year
The ABC-AHP-NCNPR
Botanical Adulterants Prevention Program (BAPP) received the Editor’s Award for
“Industry Initiative of the Year” by NutraIngredients-USA,
one of the leading natural products and dietary supplement industry trade publications
in the United States. The award recognizes a novel or innovative program, project, or
platform that increases consumer trust and transparency, has demonstrable
success, and moves the dietary supplement industry forward. BAPP was selected
among three finalists, including the Global Retail and Manufacturer Alliance
(GRMA), an alliance of major retailers, manufacturers,
trade associations and certification bodies formed to develop an auditing
scheme that utilizes consensus-based quality system standards for Good
Manufacturing Practices (GMP’s), and dietary supplement manufacturer MegaFoods
for its petition to ban the use of the herbicide glyphosate.
In its article covering the award, the
NutraIngredients-USA team wrote “BAPP is an exemplary educational resource
about adulteration in the botanical supply chain, with its growing body of
peer-reviewed literature, laboratory guidance documents, bulletins, and
newsletters.”1 The award was accepted by Denise Meikel, ABC’s
Director of Development, at the NutraIngredients-USA Award Reception on June 3, 2019, in New
Orleans, LA, during the Institute for Food Technology’s 2019 Food Expo.2
