The Health Food Manufacturers Association (HFMA) claims to be 'The Voice of the Natural Health Industry since 1965'. It aims to:

  • 'be the authoritative and responsible voice for the UK natural products industry'
  • 'promote and protect the general interests of members and of the natural health products industry'
  • 'influence legislators, regulators and key opinion formers to promote the maximum freedom of choice and access to safe, high quality natural health products'
  • 'promote high standards of product manufacture and presentation to ensure consumer safety, responsible and informative communications and compliance with applicable legislation.'[1]

The HFMA is said to have three long-standing codes of practice which are for GMP, Labelling & Advertising and Upper Safe Levels for Supplements. They operate in order to ensure that their member companies adhere to 'high standards and offer good quality, safe products to UK consumers.' [2]

Council

Companies are elected to the Council every two years and their representatives are said to 'volunteer considerable time to attending Council meetings that determine HFMA strategy & policies.' Council officers are elected by the Council and the president (who does not have voting rights) is elected by all HFMA members annually.
