§6Sources
§7 · What we don't know
- FDA Data Dashboard FEI lookup + inspection trajectory detail (NAI/VAI/OAI) — Emmerthal site stated as FDA-inspected under FSMA per regulatory-affairs page
- DIN EN ISO 9001 sub-classification (vendor states DIN EN form; canonical IR taxonomy uses ISO 9001 base form)
- FSSC public register direct-lookup line item
- Specific US distribution office address
- Per-SKU raw-material country-of-origin
Dietary supplement manufacturers must comply with 21 CFR Part 111 (Current Good Manufacturing Practice for dietary supplements). This includes requirements for personnel, facilities, equipment, production, laboratory operations, and record-keeping.
What We Couldn't Verify
- FSMA inspection date and outcome detail (NAI/VAI/OAI classification) not surfaced in web search; FDA Data Dashboard direct query for FEI lookup deferred to quarterly recheck
- FSSC 22000 confirmed via official regulatory-affairs page (vendor self-disclosure); FSSC public-register direct lookup deferred
- Specific US distribution office address not confirmed in this pass (vendor states global supply to US market)
- On-site inspection not conducted; EU regulatory framework differs from US 21 CFR Part 111
- Mineral-salt raw-material origin (specific magnesium / iron / zinc / calcium upstream) varies per SKU — buyers should request per-product country-of-origin disclosure
