NHP Bulletin No.9, October 29, 2025, from the Health Product Compliance Directorate

Announcement
Health Canada is committed to enhancing transparency and supporting informed decision making. As part of this commitment, Health Canada will begin publishing inspection results for sites that manufacture, package, label and import natural health products (NHPs) on the existing Drug and Health Product Inspection Database (DHPID).
This initiative aligns with the transparency practices for other regulated products such as drugs, clinical trials, medical devices, and cannabis.
Purpose
The DHPID supports open government and regulatory transparency by giving the public access to inspection information for drugs and health products. With the addition of NHP inspection results, the database will now offer a more complete picture of Health Canada’s compliance and enforcement activities across regulated product lines.
The DHPID:
- Provides access to inspection results for health product establishments licensed or registered by Health Canada, including site names, inspection dates, compliance ratings, and key observations
- Covers Health Canada inspections of health products (for example, drugs, medical devices, natural health products, clinical trials, pharmacovigilance) conducted in Canada and abroad since 2012
- Offers a mobile-friendly, user-focused platform designed to provide up-to-date information in a single, searchable location
By providing Canadians with clearer information and aligning oversight with that of other regulated products, this initiative reinforces public confidence in the regulatory system and supports informed decision-making.
Implementation
The results of NHP good manufacturing practices (GMP) inspections are now accessible on the DHPID.
