U.S.-China Health Products Association Receives Export Award

The U.S.-China Health Products Association recently received an Export Appreciation Certificate from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Commercial Service Health Team for the association’s work in promoting the export of U.S. products from Jarrow Formulas, All American Pharmaceutical, Pacific Health Labs, Forward Foods LLC and Chef Jays.

The association worked closely with its retail member, World Health Store, which is the first foreign owned and managed health food store in China. The award was also presented for the association’s ongoing market intelligence reports to the U.S. Department of Commerce to ensure government-to-government dialogue continues toward the overall development of China’s dietary supplement and natural health product industry.

The award was presented to executive director Jeff Crowther, who established the association along with its founding members Jarrow Formulas and NSF International. The association’s missions are to work toward a more open regulatory environment in China, to increase dietary supplement and other natural health product exports to China and to create a safer, more transparent supply chain through its work with NSF International.
