What "Made in USA" actually means
This claim typically indicates the product was manufactured and packaged domestically under US manufacturing standards. It's a brand-stated claim, and while meaningful, it isn't independently audited by a third party unless separately certified.
What "FDA-Registered Facility" means
Facility registration is a manufacturing requirement for supplement makers — it means the facility is registered with the FDA, not that the FDA has approved or evaluated the specific product.
What "GMP Certified" means
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification reflects brand-stated compliance with quality and safety standards for the production facility. It speaks to how the product was made, not what's necessarily in it.
What these claims don't tell you
None of these three claims confirm the specific ingredients, dosages, or clinical effectiveness of a formula. They're useful context about manufacturing quality, but they work best alongside — not instead of — a complete ingredient list.
How Soda Steel presents these claims
Soda Steel's materials state all three: Made in USA, FDA-Registered Facility, and GMP Certified. We treat these as brand claims worth noting, not independently verified facts. See our formula transparency page for the full picture.
