SALT LAKE CITY—Albion Human Nutrition Division has become a member of the United Natural Products Alliance (UNPA), after existing members vetted and voted for the nutritional mineral manufacturer. The UNPA is an association limited to 40 full members of dietary supplement and functional food companies that share a commitment to provide consumers with natural health products of superior quality, benefit and reliability.
With membership in the UNPA spanning the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia it has world-wide influence in regulatory issues. In particular here in the United States, it was instrumental in forming a relationship with Senators, Congressmen and the FDA to ultimately produce the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA). The UNPA continues to help shape laws and regulations such as GMP regulations, adverse event reporting systems, analytical method development, control of steroids masquerading as supplements and international quality management protocols.
Albion said UNPA will help the company stay in touch with vital issues and trends in the supplement industry.
In May 2011, Albion received the Zions Bank’s 2011 Global Pacesetter Award, which recognizes Utah companies that demonstrate a broad international reach and global economic leadership.
