At KorNutra, we believe exceptional quality starts with serious safety standards. Our gummy supplement manufacturing facilities are built and run to meet, and often exceed, the strict rules that keep every product safe, consistent, and effective. We don't make specific health claims about supplements or ingredients, but we are open about the strong protocols behind our manufacturing quality.
Core Regulatory Requirements
Our main commitment is to follow all U.S. federal regulations from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We work under the FDA's Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) for dietary supplements, set out in 21 CFR Part 111, which are the foundation of quality and safety in our field. Dietary supplement facilities must also register with the FDA and renew that registration every other year, a requirement separate from cGMP compliance. On top of what's required, we also open our facilities to independent third-party audits that confirm our processes are sound.
Key Standards and Practices at Our Facilities
- cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices): This system builds quality into every step, from buying raw materials to final product testing and shipping. It demands strict controls for people, facilities, equipment, and production processes.
- Third-Party Audits: Independent auditors review our facilities against GMP standards. This outside check adds confidence in our quality systems.
- Testing at Every Stage: We test heavily at every stage:
- Check all incoming ingredients for identity, purity, and potency.
- Test during production to keep batches consistent and correctly made.
- Test finished products for label accuracy and for no contaminants like heavy metals, microbes, or allergens.
- Facility and Sanitation Design: Our manufacturing spaces are set up to stop contamination. That means controlled air, separate production zones, strict cleaning steps (SSOPs), and pest control programs.
- Supplier Qualification & Traceability: We carefully check every ingredient supplier and keep full records of where everything came from. For any batch, we can trace every part.
Gummy-Specific Controls: Water Activity and Moisture
Gummies carry a safety variable that tablets and capsules mostly avoid. They are high-moisture products. Moisture feeds mold, yeast, and bacteria. The relevant measurement is water activity, the fraction of free water available for microbial growth, rather than total moisture content. A gummy can hold a meaningful amount of bound water and stay stable, while a small rise in free water tips a batch toward spoilage.
Moisture control runs through every stage at our facilities, from cooking and cooling to packaging. We measure water activity on finished batches, control humidity in storage, and choose packaging that limits moisture migration. Moisture control protects the finished gummy's texture and its safety.
Our Commitment to Continuous Excellence
Meeting these standards is an ongoing loop of checking, fixing, and getting better. Our quality assurance team runs internal audits regularly and watches every part of production. We also welcome audits from our brand partners and independent auditors. That openness is a key part of keeping trust and running things right. When you choose a partner like KorNutra, you get a facility whose safety and quality practices are documented, tested, and independently audited.
