PHOENIXVIRGO announced Natural Products INSIDER will host the second event in its Digital Summit series: Contract Manufacturing The Paperwork Trail.
This is a critical issue for the industry, and this Digital Summit will empower our audience members to grow their businesses in full compliance with the law," said Jon Benninger, vice president of VIRGOs Health & Nutrition Network.
A new experience in education, the Natural Products INSIDER Digital Summit platform is a high-level education video-based event for the dietary supplement industry. The unique platform features three hours of immersive educational videos that provide both broad and deep information on the industrys most desired topics.
INSIDERs second Digital Summit on Contract Manufacturing is focused on The Paperwork Trail, as we continue to see lack of compliance with record keeping and other procedures as a major issue across the industry," said Heather Granato, vice president of content in VIRGOs Health & Nutrition Network. From AERs to MMRs and SOPs to label compliance, industry experts will be detailing the key considerations to ensure an operation is in full compliance with federal law, and can produce the highest quality dietary supplements to benefit consumers health."
For three hours, video presentations from industry and legal experts will give practical tips to participants that can be applied to their business operations immediately, while the experts are online for live Q&A. Many FDA warning letters show a lack of documentation which is a major cause of non-compliance. Don't let your company receive the next FDA warning because you were unaware of the paperwork requirements.

Lewis, partner at Venable LLC; Polaris Consultants' internal project manager Laurie Meehan and GMP compliance director Rosanne Sylvia-Heeter; and NOW Foods' quality and regulatory manager Aaron Secrist.
