In a world with so many options, it's crucial for consumers to have confidence in the products they're buying. It can be challenging to determine which brands are truly committed to transparency and quality. This is where clean label certifications play a pivotal role.

How the FDA Regulates Supplements

Though supplements are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the FDA does not approve dietary supplements for safety and effectiveness or their labeling before they are sold to the public. 

While the FDA requires that manufacturers follow good manufacturing practices (GMPs), the agency does not review or approve supplements before they are sold. This lack of pre-market approval means that the responsibility falls on the manufacturers to ensure their products are safe and accurately labeled.

Why Additional Certifications Establish Trust

Here at MaryRuth’s, we don’t want to just meet the bare minimum requirements. 

That’s why we’ve partnered with The Clean Label Project, a nonprofit dedicated to transparency and purity in product labelling.
 

The Clean Label Project's rigorous testing for contaminants and toxins sets a new standard in product safety. Their certifications are based on rigorous testing for contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and plasticizers, as well as the accuracy of ingredient labelling.

Our commitment to this initiative means every MaryRuth's product you trust meets unparalleled standards for purity, safety, and transparency.

Brands that have received Clean Label Project certifications have undergone thorough testing and scrutiny. These certifications demonstrate a commitment to transparency and quality, giving consumers peace of mind knowing that they are purchasing products that meet high standards.

With The Clean Label Project, 130+ of our products have been independently tested for over 200 industrial environmental contaminants & toxins!

We’re talking heavy metals, arsenic, lead, mercury, pesticides (including glyphosate - the active ingredient in RoundUp), and plastics (BPA, BPS, and phthalates). 

For health-conscious consumers, clean label certifications are essential. These certifications provide assurance that products are free from harmful contaminants and accurately labeled. 

By choosing products with Clean Label Project certifications, consumers can make more informed decisions about their health and well-being.
