What Amazon's 2026 Mandate Requires

Amazon began enforcing its dietary supplement testing policy in January 2026. Listings without a compliant COA are subject to suppression. Here's what the mandate covers.

Required
🔬

Lab

Testing must be performed by a laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 by a recognized accreditation body. Prodigy Labs holds ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation (PJLA #96417, Certificate #L26-715). Accreditation is scope-specific, and the Amazon supplement panels are not yet within our accredited scope — scope expansion is in progress. We’ll confirm coverage for your required panel.

Required
🏛️

TIC Provider Validation

The COA must be submitted to and validated by an Amazon-approved TIC (Testing, Inspection & Certification) provider such as Certified Laboratories, NSF, Eurofins, or Intertek before listing approval.

Standard Panel
🌿

Potency + Identity

Label claim verification (active ingredient % of stated amount) and ingredient identity confirmation via HPLC or FTIR. Required for all supplement categories.

Standard Panel
⚗️

Microbiology

TAMC, TYMC, and pathogen screening (Salmonella, E. coli O157, Staphylococcus aureus) per USP <61> and <62>. Required for all supplement categories.

High-Risk Categories
☠️

Heavy Metals

Arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury per USP <232>/<233> by ICP-MS. Required for all supplements; particularly critical for botanical and herbal products.

Botanical Products
🌾

Mycotoxins + Pesticides

Aflatoxins (B1/B2/G1/G2) and ochratoxin A for high-risk botanical ingredients sourced from Asia, Africa, or South America. 200+ pesticide panel per USP <561> for botanicals and herbals.

How the TIC Validation Pipeline Works

From raw ingredient to Amazon-approved listing — this is the path every supplement seller must follow under Amazon's 2026 requirements.

What the Bundle Covers

The Amazon-Ready COA Bundle is coming soon. The panels below are what it will include. Several of them sit outside our current accredited scope, and Amazon's programme requires the COA to cite the laboratory's accreditation number and scope — so we are not selling the bundle as Amazon-ready until our scope covers it. Individual tests are available now; ask us and we will tell you exactly where each one stands.

All panels included — potency, mycotoxins, pesticides, heavy metals, microbiology + pathogens. Ordering each test separately at market rates runs $1,200–$1,500+. Our bundle saves you up to 45%.

Why Amazon FBA Sellers Choose Prodigy Labs

🏅

One Lab, One Submission, Every Panel

Potency, mycotoxins, pesticides, heavy metals and microbiology run in-house on one sample submission, rather than split across three labs with three turnaround clocks. Amazon's programme requires an accredited COA covering the specific panel — tell us your listing category and we will tell you plainly what is and is not within our accredited scope today.

🧫

Only Lab in San Diego with In-House Mycotoxin Screening

ILS Labs and Qalitex do not offer mycotoxin testing. For botanical supplement brands selling on Amazon, this panel is increasingly required — and we're the only local option.

💰

Transparent Pricing — No Registration Wall

Unlike ILS and Qalitex, we publish our pricing. No forms to fill out before you find out what it costs. We believe pricing transparency builds trust.

⚗️

Sciex 4500 LC-MS/MS In-House

Pesticide residues and mycotoxins run in-house on our Sciex 4500 triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer — the gold standard platform for multi-residue analysis in dietary supplements.

Amazon-Specific COA Format

Our COAs include an explicit Amazon compliance note and all partner-lab disclosures per ISO 17025 §6.6 — exactly what TIC providers need to process your submission.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Amazon require for dietary supplement testing in 2026?

Since January 2026, Amazon requires all dietary supplement ASINs to be tested by an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratory and validated by an Amazon-approved TIC provider. Required panels typically include identity/potency, pesticide residues, heavy metals (As, Cd, Pb, Hg), mycotoxins for botanical products, and microbiology. The COA must cite the lab's accreditation number and scope.

Will my TIC provider accept a Prodigy Labs COA?

Not yet for the full Amazon panel, and we would rather say so plainly. Prodigy Labs is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 by PJLA (Accreditation #96417, Certificate #L26-715), and TIC providers do accept PJLA-accredited COAs — but accreditation is scope-specific, and the Amazon supplement panels are not yet within our accredited scope. Amazon requires the COA to cite the lab's accreditation number and scope, so a TIC provider checking our PJLA listing would see the gap. Scope expansion is in progress. Tell us your product category and we will tell you exactly where each test stands today.

What analytes does Amazon require for supplement testing?

The standard Amazon FBA supplement panel includes: active ingredient potency/identity, microbiology (TAMC, TYMC, Salmonella, E. coli O157, Staph aureus), pesticide residues (200+ analytes, USP <561>), heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury per USP <232>/<233>), and mycotoxins (aflatoxin B1/B2/G1/G2, ochratoxin A) for botanical and herbal products.

How long does Amazon supplement testing take?

Turnaround on the full panel set is 7–10 business days from sample receipt. Rush processing (5 business days) is available on select panels. Contact us to discuss your timeline needs.

Does Prodigy Labs only serve San Diego companies?

No. We serve Amazon FBA supplement brands across the US. Samples can be shipped to our San Diego facility with standard overnight courier. Where your business is located makes no difference to how a COA is received.

How much does the Amazon-Ready COA Bundle cost?

The bundle is not on sale yet, so we are not publishing a bundle price. The individual panels — potency and identity by HPLC, pesticides, mycotoxins, heavy metals by ICP-MS, and microbiology — can be quoted today, priced by matrix and by the panels you actually need. Contact us with your product category for a quote.

What's the difference between a basic COA and an Amazon-Ready COA?

A basic COA reports test results. An Amazon-Ready COA includes the laboratory’s accreditation details where the method is in scope, explicit §6.6 disclosure for any subcontracted partner-lab panels, an Amazon compliance note stating the COA meets TIC provider submission requirements, and covers all the analyte panels Amazon's approved TICs check against.
