Product Quality and Safety

At Johnson & Johnson, the quality and safety of our companies’ products is our top priority. Every product we sell must meet our rigorous standards for purity, safety and efficacy.

Product quality and safety processes begin during the design of our products and ingredients to ensure they meet internal and external standards. We employ pharmacists, toxicologists, laboratory analysts and other health scientists to conduct thorough evaluations before any raw material or ingredient is used. The safety and quality of these materials is critical to protecting our customers and to the success of the final products. Finished products also undergo thorough safety assessments. Even after our products reach the marketplace, we continue to monitoring how our products are used as well as their safety and effectiveness.

Beyond our companies’ own manufacturing, we also rely on other firms to produce finished goods and ingredients. The Johnson & Johnson Responsibility Standards for Suppliers help us select partners who operate in a manner consistent with our values and standards, and they help our manufacturing partners understand our expectations. We view our suppliers around the world as important partners in our business, and we hold them to our high standards of material safety and quality.
