The expiry date on my product is not clear. What should I do?
Scenario 1: Both expiry date and lot # are illegible - There is no way to tell when this product was packaged. It is probably best the consumer discards the product and does not consume it.
Scenario 2: Expiry date is illegible, but lot # is still clear - NB team would be able to tell when it was packaged and then provide the consumer with the expiry date. Please send an RFI with the product information.
Helpful hint: For Nature's Bounty vitamin products, the expiry date is usually found near the UPC/bar code. There are a few instances where it can be found on the bottle neck or the bottom of the bottle.
Are Nature's Bounty products BPA Free?
Our products do not contain BPA and we use PETE or PET bottles which are BPA free.
Why are my gummies stuck together?
Generally speaking, gummies made with gelatin tend to be susceptible to extreme temperatures, exposure to which may cause them to dry up and/or stick together. We do have strict quality procedures in place to ensure this does not occur while product is within our control. For example, we coat our gummies in sugar and starch to prevent sticking, and we also keep all of our products in temperature-controlled environments, including the trucks we use to transport them.
Unfortunately, exposure to extreme temps can sometimes occur after we have delivered the product to our distributors and retailers. For some more insight, we always recommend following the storage recommendations on the label.
Can I give these products to my pet?
Our products are not formulated for pet use. We suggest that you discuss specific products with your veterinarian. They can provide professional advice and may be able to recommend an appropriate veterinary treatment to assist in your pet’s health.
