Contract Manufacture for Dietary Supplement - who is responsible for the shelf life study?
Hello,
We are looking into making a supplement for a company that has put in a statement of work which lists a 2 year shelf life. As a CM, is it our responsibility to obtain the shelf life study from them to run in our SQF Facility?
Thank you. Just to clarify, I do not need to ask them for their shelf study to review to have on file here at the plant?

Hi Sarah,
I would think you will need to ask "them" for a Product Specification. Including Shelf Life.
Bu you, presumably may have a shared responsibility to inform "them" if you believe the (Safety-related?) shelf life is unrealistic, especially if this information is on the Label.
There are previous threads on this kind of (labelling) question. In some locations, eg UK, the manufacturer may have some legal responsibilities for labelled "veracity" despite the label being produced/authorised elsewhere.
Finally responsible for all informations on pack incl. claims is the FBO mentioned on pack.
At second level responsibilities can be regulated by contracts.

Hi mosquito,
Opinions abound. can try these BRC threads ranging from labelling to other aspects. There are numerous others -
