Amway launches transparency tool tracking product journey from seed to supplement

Amway has launched the Amway Tracing Tool in Australia, an interactive mobile platform that allows consumers to track the complete journey of select products from seed to finished supplement and skincare items. The tool is now available in 13 countries including Australia, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The platform provides a five-step view of product creation: science, ingredients, production, testing, and packaging. Users can explore ingredient origins, manufacturing locations, and quality processes through an interactive map. Amway performs approximately 30,000 quality tests annually, with an additional 12,000 to 14,000 packaging tests. The company tracks botanicals from its certified organic farmland in the US, Mexico, and Brazil, maintaining detailed records throughout the plant lifecycle. Each Nutriway-grown botanical carries a "birth certificate" documenting its journey from farm to final product.
