There is an increase in adulterated botanical raw materials and extracts in the global marketplace. Manufacturers of foods, food supplements, non-prescription drugs, and other consumer goods containing botanical materials must exercise appropriate quality control procedures to ensure proper identity and authenticity of such ingredients. This presentation explains the educational efforts of the ABC-AHP-NCNPR Botanical Adulterants Program (BAP), an international consortium of nonprofit organizations/NGOs, trade associations, research centers, and others to combat and reduce this problem.
