SANTA ANA, Calif.USP Dietary Supplement Verification Program (DSVP) verified Omega-3 30% Fish Oil Softgels from Robinson Pharma Inc., allowing the company to use the USP Verified Mark on the product label. USP issued the approval letter (DSVP Ref. No.: 1083100401) after it conducted audits of Robinson Pharma Inc.s facility and quality systems, including a review of staff training, manufacturing operations, supply chain qualification for all ingredients used in the manufacture of the product, and stability studies for the product post manufacturing.

USP DSVPs standard exceeds the federally mandated cGMP (current good manufacturing practice) regulations. USP has long developed standards for both pharmaceutical and nutritional products and has almost two centuries of experience in the quality field.

 At Robinson Pharma, we have adopted a program that mandates continually improving our ability to do our Job," stated company founder, Tom Nguyen. This program extends to every department, every aspect of our operation, every employee, and every job function. Achieving DSVP compliance from USP is an important sequential improvement to our valued third-party credentials."

Fred Jamee, senior vice president of quality and compliance for Robinson Pharma , added, We are honored to be working with USP and their DSVP, and we will continue to find ways of doing more to assure that our company and products are unparalleled in quality. Our company perspective on quality is that it is a function that is never completed or fully realized; it must be a continuous endeavor,". 

According to Jamee, The USP DSVP program begins with a rigorous multi-day audit that is an in-depth inquiry into all aspects of the facilities, production practices, staff training and qualifications, and ingredient and finished product testing and standards. The USP DSVP is product specific, requiring the use of monograph compliant ingredients and the demonstration of product stability throughout the products shelf life."

The announcement of USP DSVP compliance follows the recent news of certification by STR for RQP Compliance.

Our Quality Focused Always initiative has resulted in numerous third-party certifications, and our team is proud of receiving recognition for our work from prestigious organizations with impeccable standards such as USP, STR, and NPA," said vice president of marketing, Kenn Israel, who also stated, Our customers and clients demand increasingly rigorous third-party verification that we are more than just compliant with FDA quality standards. We are indeed fortunate that our quality unit has a mandate to do more than meet the minimum standard. They are part of our leadership team and have a key role in all operations at Robinson Pharma Inc."
