GLP-1 Food Certification FAQ
-
GLP Certified™ is an independent certification for foods and meals made for people using GLP-1 medications. Products are evaluated against eight published criteria, including protein density and quality, fiber type and timing, energy density, and GI tolerability, to show they meet the nutritional needs of GLP-1 users.
-
GLP-1 certification is for food brands, meal kit companies, and product manufacturers who want to credibly signal to consumers, retailers, and health system partners that their products are formulated to support GLP-1 nutritional goals.
-
Millions of people use GLP-1 medications, and most eat less overall, so every serving has to deliver more protein, fiber, and micronutrients. GLP Certified™ gives brands an independent, science-based credential that means more than a self-applied "GLP-1 Friendly" label, which builds trust with a fast-growing consumer group.
-
The mark means the product has been independently reviewed and meets the GLP Certified™ standards. It's a licensed mark, so only products that pass our audit may display it. Certification is a nutrition standard. It is not a medical claim and does not mean a product treats any condition or affects any medication.
-
You submit your product's full ingredient list, nutritional panel, and some formulation details. Our review team evaluates each submission against the GLP Certified™ standard and returns a written audit report with a pass/fail determination and, where applicable, specific remediation guidance.
