One of the biggest mistakes a brand can make is… Believing your manufacturing partners are “doing quality” for you They’re definitely not “doing compliance” either If your name is on the label, you are responsible for ensuring your product meets regulatory requirements Your co-man isn’t going to tell you they’re not qualified Your contract testing lab isn’t going to tell you they’re not qualified It’s ok to trust your partners You just have to trust AND verify that they’re taking good care of you That trust and verification does not absolve you of the responsibility to conduct your own testing, review your own labels/formulas, or comply with the many regulations your product is governed by I hope you do have good partners out there Now make them prove it Not sure what proof looks like?

I work with both sides here: Manufacturing and Brands and the below mindset is slowly being adopted onto the Brand side enforcing accountability! I’ve witnessed too many product “quality” issues from manufacturers of all shapes and sizes, all alleging they have top tier QA/QC for the products they make! Many that are proactive with QC, lack the frequency…leading to a mishap down the road. Use the below as a friendly reminder, to Trust But Verify! #manufacturing #supplements #nutrition #cpg #riskmanagement #insurance #fda #cgmp

THE IMPORTANCE OF #RETENTION #SAMPLES (RS) IN MANUFACTURING Retention samples are samples of a fully packaged unit from a batch of finished product. Retention sample is often referred to as holding sample (HS), which should be more than one piece for sufficient analysis and monitoring. These samples are stored in same conditions as described on the label of such products. A retention sample system is an often overlooked, but important component of regulatory compliance. It is comprised of a written document establishing a process to maintain a set number of units of finished product as sold at retail, of each lot or batch, that is cataloged and stored in a manner compliant with cGMP. In the FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) industry, retention samples are retained for quality control, regulatory compliance, and product development purposes. Some importance of retention samples include: 1. Quality Control: Even after carrying out microbial and physicochemical analysis on a produced batch of products, the need to perform another analysis may arise before the BB or expiration date. So product quality and safety standards are ensured. 2. Regulatory Compliance: Retention samples may be required by regulatory agencies to verify compliance with laws and regulations. 3. Product Development: Retention samples can be used to refine product formulations, packaging, and manufacturing processes. 4. Customer Complaints: Retention samples can help resolve customer complaints by analyzing the product in question. 5. Product Recall: Retention samples can be used to identify and isolate products in the event of a recall. Common retention samples in the FMCG industry include: 1. Finished products (e.g., food, beverages, personal care products) 2. Packaging materials (e.g., labels, cartons, bottles) 3. Raw materials (e.g., ingredients, components) 4. In-process samples (e.g., during manufacturing) The length of time retention samples are kept varies depending on factors like product shelf life, regulatory requirements, and company policies. 💥 In summary, having a retention sample system speaks volume on a company's stance on quality assurance even after distribution of products.

🔍 Quality assurance and quality control are essential pillars in ensuring superior product and service delivery. Quality assurance sets the stage by proactively preventing defects through robust processes and standards. On the other hand, quality control steps in to detect and correct any issues that slip through the cracks. 🚀 QA focuses on prevention, setting stringent guidelines to ensure products meet quality standards upfront, saving time and resources. QC, on the flip side, is all about correction, pinpointing and rectifying defects in the final product or service through inspections and tests. 🎯 Balancing prevention and correction is key for businesses striving for excellence in their quality management. By melding the strengths of both QA and QC, organisations can elevate their quality control processes and surpass customer expectations. 🌟 How do you harmonise prevention and correction in your quality management strategy?
