Nutraceutical Insurance for Dietary Supplement & Wellness Brands
The nutraceutical industry sits at the intersection of food, pharmaceuticals, and consumer wellness—making it one of the most scrutinized and high-risk product categories from an insurance standpoint.
Standard business insurance policies often exclude or severely limit coverage for dietary supplements, vitamins, functional foods, and wellness products. When claims arise, those exclusions can leave nutraceutical companies dangerously exposed.
Why Nutraceutical Businesses Need Specialized Insurance
Nutraceutical companies face elevated risk due to:
Ingestible product exposure
Product efficacy and health-related claims
Labeling and marketing scrutiny
Supply chain and ingredient sourcing risks
Product recalls and contamination events
Retailer, distributor, and marketplace insurance requirements
Many insurers decline nutraceutical risks outright—or issue policies with hidden exclusions. Proper nutraceutical insurance requires carrier alignment, documentation, and underwriting expertise.
Nutraceutical vs Standard Food Insurance: Why It Matters
Nutraceutical insurance is not the same as food or beverage insurance.
Key differences include:
Higher product liability exposure
Increased scrutiny of marketing claims
Greater recall risk
Ingredient sourcing documentation requirements
More complex underwriting reviews
We structure nutraceutical policies correctly so insurers understand your business—and claims aren’t denied due to misclassification.
