About Botanical Adulterants Prevention Program
The ABC-AHP-NCNPR Botanical Adulterants Prevention Program (BAPP) is the largest international consortium focused on reducing adulteration in botanical ingredients used in dietary (food) supplements, conventional foods, cosmetics, and other natural health products.
In 2011, three leading nonprofit organizations—the American Botanical Council (ABC), the American Herbal Pharmacopoeia (AHP), and the University of Mississippi's National Center for Natural Products Research (NCNPR)—initiated this large-scale program to educate members of the global herbal and dietary supplement industry about ingredient and product adulteration.
BAPP produces six to eight extensively peer-reviewed publications per year, written by experts in various scientific fields, to document adulteration for specific ingredients, and/or to evaluate laboratory test methods to authenticate legitimate ingredients and to detect the potential presence of undeclared adulterants in herbal ingredients and finished dietary supplements.
