Dietary Supplement Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Compliance Seminar

December 1, 3, 8, 10, 2026
Live Virtual Event | 11am-4pm Eastern each day
Instructors: Shelly Blackwell and Jeb Hunter
Registration: $749–$849 per person

Put GMP Requirements into Practice

Your specifications, testing, production records, and quality decisions need to work together. How do you evaluate the evidence behind a supplier’s test results? What should your batch records demonstrate? How do you oversee quality when another company manufactures your products?

EAS Consulting Group’s four-day Dietary Supplement GMP Compliance Seminar connects 21 CFR Part 111 requirements with the decisions manufacturers, quality teams, and brand owners face in daily operations.

Join Shelly Blackwell and Jeb Hunter for instruction on interpreting and applying dietary supplement GMP requirements—from personnel, facilities, and equipment through testing, production, distribution, and inspection preparation. Group work sessions give you opportunities to apply what you learn and discuss potential compliance gaps.

Whether you manufacture dietary supplements or work with a contract manufacturer, this seminar will help you examine how responsibilities, procedures, and supporting records fit together across your operation.

Agenda

What You’ll Learn

Build a practical understanding of how to:

Connect specifications with evidence. Examine how testing and quality review support decisions about incoming materials and finished products.
Strengthen documentation. Consider whether procedures and records clearly show what was done, who performed the work, and how decisions were approved.
Evaluate production records. Understand how master instructions and completed batch records support consistent manufacturing and product review.
Clarify outsourced responsibilities. Explore quality oversight and agreements between brand owners and contract manufacturers.
Approach investigations systematically. Connect unexpected results and manufacturing deviations with material review and disposition decisions.
Prepare for FDA inspections. Examine how your team organizes responsibilities, retrieves supporting information, and manages inspection activities.

Who Should Attend?

This seminar is designed for professionals responsible for dietary supplement quality and compliance, including:

Quality assurance, quality control, and regulatory affairs personnel
Manufacturing, packaging, labeling, laboratory, and distribution teams
Brand owners and own-label distributors working with contract manufacturers
Managers responsible for GMP programs and employee training
Consultants, auditors, and attorneys supporting dietary supplement businesses

The program is relevant to both domestic and foreign firms supplying the U.S. market.

Learn Through Application

Understanding a requirement is one step. Applying it to your operation takes judgment.

Through four group work sessions, you’ll have opportunities to examine scenarios, identify potential deficiencies, and discuss how GMP requirements connect across quality systems. Bring your operational questions to the discussion.

Training Materials and Certificate

The seminar takes place live through Zoom. Attendees receive the presentation materials and a 21 CFR Part 111 Pocket Guide before the course.

Attendance on all four dates and active participation in discussions via webcam are required. Participants must complete the GMP exam with an acceptable score to receive a certificate of training.
