Consultation on Natural Health Products welcomed
NPNZ welcomes consultation on Natural Health Products
Natural Products New Zealand welcomes the Ministry of Health’s consultation paper on the development of a natural health products bill released today.
A regulatory scheme is to be developed for natural health products that will give the public confidence that such products are safe and true to label.
“The industry welcomes the proposal for regulations around natural health products to ensure quality, safety and efficacy for both manufacturers and consumers,” says Michelle Palmer, Executive Director Natural Products New Zealand.
“Obviously, there will be areas that
industry will want to comment on and we look forward to
continuing to work with the National Party and the Green
Party on this. A recognised regulatory system will be
hugely beneficial to manufacturers in both their domestic
and export markets. While most of the major manufacturers
of natural health supplements are already manufacturing to
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, it will provide
additional endorsement to New Zealand’s well known
reputation for its natural products’ quality and
safety,” concluded Ms Palmer.
