Made in USA supplement manufacturer
Gummies and liquids produced in-house at HBM's Tampa Bay, FL facilities under the FTC Made in USA standard.
HBM is a Made in USA supplement manufacturer operating three facilities in Tampa Bay, FL. The gummy facility in St. Petersburg covers two 30,000 sq ft buildings plus a 3,000 sq ft R&D lab. Production runs 90,000,000 gummies per month and 750,000 liters per month. HBM holds 8 certifications including FTC Made in USA, FDA Registration, NSF, USDA Organic, and Non-GMO Project Verified. The Made in USA designation follows the FTC Labeling Rule: all or virtually all of the product is made in the US. Most US contract manufacturers route gummies or liquids to a partner. HBM does not.
The Made in USA label carries a specific legal meaning. The FTC Made in USA Labeling Rule, updated in 2021, requires that all or virtually all of a product is made in the US. Final assembly, processing, and significant ingredient sourcing all factor in. For a supplement brand, the label matters at the shelf. For the manufacturer behind it, the label only holds if the production floor is in the US and the records back it up.
What the FTC Made in USA standard requires
The FTC standard sets three tests. Final assembly or processing must occur in the United States. All significant processing must occur in the US. All or virtually all ingredients or components must be of US origin. The 2021 Labeling Rule codified these tests and added civil penalty authority for violations. HBM’s Made in USA designation applies to in-house gummy and liquid production at the Tampa Bay facilities. Imported raw materials are disclosed per buyer request and per cGMP batch records.
Where HBM manufactures
Three facilities in Tampa Bay, FL. The St. Petersburg gummy facility runs two 30,000 sq ft buildings and a 3,000 sq ft R&D lab, 100% temperature controlled. The liquid facility houses 2,500L of total mixing capacity across four jacketed vessels with high-speed roto-stators and sweeping blades. Both facilities operate under one quality system. Bench sample to commercial run happens under one batch record chain, in the US, with US personnel.
How the designation interacts with other certifications
Made in USA is an FTC designation, not a third-party cert. It sits alongside HBM’s facility-level FDA Registration, NSF, USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Ecocert, Health Canada Site License, and Florida DBPR. Eight certifications total. Each addresses a different layer: federal facility registration, cGMP compliance, organic content, GMO status, European recognition, Canadian export, state food establishment licensing, and US origin. The full cert stack is listed on the quality hub.
What this means for the brand on the shelf
A finished SKU produced at HBM can carry the Made in USA claim on its label if the brand’s ingredient sourcing also meets the FTC test. The manufacturing step is covered. Ingredient origin is the brand’s call. HBM provides per-batch documentation of where each raw material was sourced. That documentation lives in the batch record and is available on request under NDA.
