Pacific Naturals Quality Control
All of our raw materials must pass
stringent quality controls before they
are utilized. In addition, we use only
those precursor materials that are of
the highest quality and that pass our in
house quality inspection.
All raw materials are tested for
purity prior to production. Quality
control engineers have the authority
during any stage of production to reject
any product that does not adhere to our
strict quality standards. All personnel
follow explicit written protocols that
are strictly enforced during the
manufacturing process. All steps during
the manufacturing process are documented
and reviewed by quality control
specialists. Manufacturing equipment is
properly maintained and cleaned on a
predetermined schedule that is
documented in company logs for review by
the Department of Agriculture. This
helps to ensure the absence of any
contamination during the manufacturing
process. Production records associated
with each unit of a product, including
all raw materials used, are filed for
two years past the expiration date.
Further quality control is
demonstrated by:
Product analysis
This is recorded for each product that
is manufactured. The analysis contains
the specific components of the herbal
product, including a lot number for each
of the ingredients, as well as the
production methods used.
Raw materials These
are purchased only from reputable
wholesalers. Each raw material in our
products must come with a Certificate of
Analysis obtained from the supplier. Our
in house Quality Assurance team also
analyzes the raw materials for
authenticity.
Packaging material
All packaging materials are purchased
only from reputable wholesalers.
Specific Quality Assurance personal
ensure that all labels are assigned to
the proper products to avoid any
confusion. All new labels are cross
checked with the original master label
to make certain that there have been no
mistakes during the printing process.
Lot Numbers Once an
order request has been received, the
herbal supplement to be manufactured is
entered in the production records and a
lot number is assigned. The raw
materials are released to the pharmacy
after all products have been checked for
authenticity.
Manufacturing Guidelines
 In
addition to the protocols described
above, Pacific Naturals Supplements
adheres to the following manufacturing
guidelines to ensure the utmost quality
control:
Blending and Granulation
All equipment used in the process of
mixing and granulation is inspected by
the Director of Operations prior to use.
Raw materials are then inspected for the
final time. The lots are then processed
using strict written guidelines for each
herbal product. Following granulation
and blending, the powder blends are
stored in specially designed containers
to ensure freshness and to avoid any
contamination. Once again the Director
of Operations ensures that all new
blends are labeled appropriately.
Encapsulation and Compression
Once a test unit has been processed, a
sample is unit is issued to Quality
Assurance to be compared to retained
samples in order to ensure product
integrity. Once the new unit has been
approved by Quality Assurance, full line
production may begin. Quality Assurance
inspections are conducted using set
protocols for the capsules. As with the
blending and granulation process, the
capsules are stored in specifically
designed containers to ensure freshness
and to avoid any contamination. The
Director of Operations makes certain
that all new capsules are labeled
appropriately.
Liquids Liquid
products are prepared following the same
stringent protocols described above for
blending, granulation, encapsulation and
compression.
 Packaging
and Inspection Upon completion
of processing, the final product is
inspected again by the Quality Assurance
staff. Broken tablets, over filled
capsules and any other defective
products are removed from the lot.
Products released by the Quality
Assurance staff are subsequently either
packaged for bulk storage or bottled and
labeled for consumer use (labels contain
the appropriate information required by
the Federal Drug Administration; batch
numbers are logged). All finished
products are properly labeled and closed
with a tamper proof seal. The Quality
Assurance unit also retains samples of
raw materials for one year past the
expiration date of the last product they
are used in. The unit also retains
samples of finished products for one
year past the product expiration date.
These samples are maintained under
controlled conditions.
Final Products All
final products are stored in quarantine
in a climate controlled environment
until final delivery to the customer.
All Pacific Naturals Supplements are
manufactured using Good Manufacturing
Practices set forth by the US Federal
Drug Administration. In addition, both
scheduled and surprise inspections by
the Quality Assurance staff during
different aspects of the manufacturing
process help to ensure specific quality,
strength and purity for both the raw
materials and the finished supplements.
