These aren’t just for show. They’re symbols of compliance, quality and trust in an industry where safety and accuracy are critical.

Why Certifications and Registrations Matter

In the animal health industry, certifications and registered facility status aren’t just optional accolades, they are foundational to safe, high-quality production. Each seal represents a rigorous evaluation process to ensure the facility complies with regulatory requirements for manufacturing practices, cleanliness, documentation and traceability. For contract manufacturers, these approvals confirm that they meet or exceed standards for producing products that can be safely used in animals.

What Each Seal and Logo Represents

In an industry that directly impacts animal welfare, these certifications are essential safeguards.

• FDA Registered Facility: While FDA registration itself doesn’t guarantee product approval, it is mandatory for any company involved in manufacturing or distributing regulated products such as animal drugs, feed or supplements. It allows the FDA to inspect and monitor the facility to ensure compliance with public health regulations.
• European Medicines Agency (EMA): The EMA is responsible for the scientific evaluation and supervision of veterinary medicines within the European Union. Certification or recognition by the EMA means that a facility meets EU requirements for safety, efficacy and quality of animal health products.
• Health Canada Registered Facility: Facilities registered with Health Canada have passed rigorous assessments to ensure the safety, effectiveness and quality of their products. For a contract manufacturer, this registration signals that its products meet Canada’s high regulatory standards.
• cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices): Being a cGMP-compliant facility means adhering to strict quality guidelines enforced by agencies such as the FDA. These practices cover every aspect of production – from raw material sourcing to equipment sanitation and employee training.
• Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS): A division of the USDA, APHIS regulates biologics such as vaccines and diagnostic kits used in animals. Approval or oversight by APHIS ensures that animal health products are properly tested, labeled and manufactured according to standards that protect both animal and public health.
• National Animal Supplement Council (NASC) Quality Seal: This seal indicates a product or facility’s adherence to rigorous quality standards in the animal supplement industry. This includes third-party audits, ongoing monitoring, and transparent labeling.
• USDA Organic Certification: This confirms that the product uses sustainable and organic methods without prohibited substances like synthetic pesticides or GMOs.
