SGS Nutrasource’s Radioactivity Tested & Certified Program Welcomes First Partner, GNC China
“As a long-term professional partner of SGS, GNC China played a key role in supporting the launch of Radioactivity Tested & Certified and put forward many constructive suggestions for the test. Participants in the RTCP allows GNC Live Well to confidently assure customers that their products have undergone rigorous testing for radioactivity. Bearing the third-party certification strengthens consumer confidence and establishes a new industry benchmark for safety and transparency,” says GNC China.
RTCP is a per-lot testing program and product certification meticulously designed to analyze products for the presence of principal radionuclides associated with the release of wastewater and accidents involving nuclear reactors, namely I-131, Cs-134, and Cs-137. SGS Nutrasource developed this unique program in response to escalating consumer demand for additional safety measures in daily consumed or used products.
“GNC China’s decision to join the Radioactivity Tested & Certified™ Program is a testament to their commitment to transparency and giving consumers the right to know,” says Kevin Yan, Vice President of Product Certifications. “GNC China is the business representative of GNC Global in Chinese market. As a leader in China's dietary supplement market, they are setting an impressive precedent. We have now tested and certified over 100 individual product lots across our programs, further solidifying consumer trust in the safety of their products.”
