United States Pharmacopeia

The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) is a nonprofit organization that sets official standards for medicines, food ingredients, and dietary supplements in the United States. These standards ensure the quality, safety, and effectiveness of these products. USP establishes guidelines for packaging, labeling, and testing, helping manufacturers produce reliable and safe products for consumers. Regulatory agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) often use USP standards to enforce compliance in the industry. By maintaining these high standards, USP plays a crucial role in public health and safety.
