Walgreens' Vitamins and Supplements Earn UL Verification

Walgreens’ own brand items will become the first vitamin and supplement products to feature the UL Verified Mark. The certification confirms the ingredients are as stated on the nutritional or supplement facts panel shown on the product's label.

UL is a global safety science leader that delivers testing, inspection and certification. UL's Verified Mark on Walgreens own brand products follows successful objective and independent verification informed by facility audits and product testing to verify the accuracy of the supplement or nutritional facts panel.

Any Walgreens brand vitamin or supplement that UL has verified will display a UL Verified Mark with a unique identifier number that consumers can use to understand the verification methodology as described on the publicly available UL Verify database. 

"Trust is core to any relationship, and we believe ingredient transparency is very important," said Luke Rauch, senior vice president and chief merchandising officer at Walgreens. "That's why we worked with UL to obtain objective and independent third-party verification for the ingredients in our dietary supplements and vitamins. With this new verification, you can trust that our vitamins contain exactly what is listed on the nutritional and supplement facts panel, building on our reputation as a trusted name in health and wellness.”

In addition to appearing on product packaging, the UL Verified Mark will also appear on vitamins and supplement product pages on walgreens.com.

"Consumers want to trust what is in the product they are taking, while retailers need to provide that trust and assurance," said Doug Lockard, vice president and general manager of UL's Retail and Consumer Products group. "UL's Verified Mark creates trust based on independent, credible proof regarding a product's ingredients. Walgreens investment in earning UL's Verified Mark demonstrates its commitment to delivering quality products. We thank them for putting their trust in UL to help them deliver on that promise."
