Chinese ginseng producer gets GMP certification

Chinese ginseng extract manufacturer Hongjiu has received NSF International Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) registration, allowing it to better meet the needs of US manufacturers looking to step up to new quality regulations.

The registration follows an audit of the firm’s manufacturing processes, sanitation standards, pest control methods, personnel training, product testing practices and standard operating procedures.

Hongjui’s ginseng extracts, which are distributed in North America by BI Nutraceuticals, are derived from the company’s own organic ginseng farms. This, said BI, allows the firm to control the quality of the extracts from seed cultivation to processing.

The company's extraction facility, located in Northeast China, is also ISO22000, HACCP, GMP, GAP, Kosher and Halal certified.
