Prime Biome Warns Consumers About Unauthorized Sellers and Ensures Commitment to Product Authenticity

Published

on

NEW YORK, March 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The official brand behind Prime Biome, a product developed under Bioventra’s portfolio of advanced formulations, has issued a public advisory regarding unauthorized third-party resellers misrepresenting the product online. Reports indicate that unverified vendors online have been listing non-official versions of Prime Biome across various platforms, leading to confusion among consumers.

The official Prime Biome brand has been receiving complaints from individuals who unknowingly made purchases from unverified sources, later realizing discrepancies in packaging, labeling, and ingredient details. This has raised concerns about product authenticity and integrity, as the formulation was developed exclusively under Bioventra’s stringent quality standards.

In response to these growing Prime Biome concerns, the company has issued an official statement emphasizing the importance of ordering from the official verified source only to ensure authenticity and product safety.

Unverified Resellers Causing Widespread Confusion

In recent weeks, multiple consumer reports have highlighted the increasing prevalence of unauthorized sellers listing Prime Biome outside of the brand’s verified distribution channels. This industry has faced similar challenges, with third-party vendors presenting themselves as legitimate sources while listing products that may not reflect official formulations.

The official Prime Biome team has been actively monitoring unauthorized listings and is committed to raising awareness about the potential risks associated with purchasing Prime Biome from unknown third-party vendors.

While some unauthorized sellers may claim to offer genuine Prime Biome, discrepancies in packaging, ingredient details, and overall product presentation have raised concerns. Consumers have reported receiving products that appear different from official branding, while others have struggled with Prime Biome returns and refund processes due to unclear seller policies.

Customer Complaints Highlight Need for Greater Awareness

Consumer reports received by the official Prime Biome brand have included concerns such as:

Product inconsistencies – Customers noted that labeling, logo placement, or product descriptions did not match official representations.Ingredient discrepancies – Since Prime Biome contains a proprietary blend of probiotics and botanical extracts, there have been concerns about whether third-party listings contain the expected formula.Unclear storage conditions – Prime Biome consumers have questioned whether unauthorized sellers store and handle the product correctly, as dietary supplements require specific conditions to maintain quality.Limited customer support – Many individuals who purchased Prime Biome from non-official sources reported that customer service inquiries went unanswered, leaving them unable to seek refunds or verify authenticity.

A spokesperson for the Prime Biome line commented:

“We take product integrity seriously and are committed to ensuring that consumers receive only authentic formulations. Unfortunately, unauthorized sellers sometimes misrepresent products, leading to confusion. We encourage Prime Biome customers to remain vigilant when verifying sources.”

The Rise of Unauthorized Third-Party Sellers

Unauthorized supplement resellers have become a growing issue across various e-commerce platforms, social media marketplaces, and third-party retail websites. Many third-party Prime Biome sellers attempt to capitalize on consumer demand, sometimes offering deep discounts or listing products in ways that do not align with official brand communications.

This trend has led to several industry-wide concerns, including:

Unverified product origins – Some Prime Biome sellers source products through unauthorized means, making it difficult for consumers to determine where and how the product was handled before purchase.Potential product substitutions – Some third-party vendors list a product under the Prime Biome name but ship alternative formulations or lookalike substitutes instead.Misleading discount strategies – Some resellers attempt to lure in customers with extremely low prices, which can indicate unverified stock or repackaged items.

While Prime Biome‘s official brand is actively monitoring unauthorized sales, the company emphasizes that consumers should take proactive steps to avoid misleading listings.

How Consumers Can Identify Official Product Sources

Consumers can take several steps to avoid misleading third-party listings and ensure they are purchasing authentic products. It is important to examine product details carefully, checking for inconsistencies in labeling, packaging, or branding that may indicate a non-official version. Prime Biome Pricing should also be reviewed with caution, as significantly lower prices than usual may suggest an unauthorized seller. Verifying the legitimacy of the seller by researching whether they are recognized as an authorized distributor can help prevent confusion. Lastly, consumers are encouraged to confirm product details through official channels to ensure accuracy and authenticity.

Company Response & Consumer Safety Commitment

The official Prime Biome brand has reaffirmed its commitment to consumer safety, product integrity, and transparency. With the increase in unauthorized sales, the company remains focused on educating customers about product authenticity.

“We are committed to making sure that individuals who seek out Prime Biome receive the correct formulation as originally designed. By raising awareness about misleading third-party listings, we hope to prevent unnecessary confusion and ensure a positive customer experience,” the spokesperson added.

Additionally, the company is actively monitoring third-party sales channels and taking steps to minimize unauthorized Prime Biome product listings that could misrepresent the brand.

Final Advisory for Consumers

With misleading third-party listings continuing to appear across various online marketplaces, consumers are encouraged to be diligent in verifying sources before making a purchase. The official Prime Biome brand has issued this advisory to help prevent further confusion and misinformation.

For updates regarding product authenticity and verification measures, consumers can refer to official sources.

Pet Circle builds fulfilment foundation for continued ecommerce growth with Manhattan WMS

By

SYDNEY, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Manhattan Associates Inc. (NASDAQ: MANH) has partnered with Australia’s largest online pet retailer, Pet Circle, to modernise its national fulfilment network with Manhattan warehouse management system (WMS). This partnership has created a digital foundation for warehouse automation, improved operational efficiency and faster delivery as the online retailer continues its rapid growth.

As a 100% ecommerce business, Pet Circle had relied on a bespoke WMS for more than 13 years. While the platform had successfully supported the company’s early growth, increasing order volumes and manual warehouse processes were making it more difficult to scale efficiently and support future automation.

Pet Circle selected Manhattan WMS to support its long-term growth strategy and automation roadmap. A key factor in the decision was Manhattan Associates’ local implementation team, whose close collaboration helped configure the solution around Pet Circle’s operational requirements.

The implementation began at Pet Circle’s Sydney fulfilment centre before being rolled out across facilities in Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia, creating consistent warehouse processes across the retailer’s national network. Shortly after the initial go-live, Pet Circle introduced autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), automated packing systems, and conveyor and sortation technology, with Manhattan WMS serving as the platform connecting these technologies across its fulfilment operation.

Andrew Haverfield, Head of Innovation Supply Chain at Pet Circle, said the move to Manhattan WMS was driven by the company’s long-term growth strategy.

“As a fast-growing ecommerce business, we needed a warehouse management platform that could grow with us. Our previous system had served us well for many years, but we’d reached the point where manual processes were making it harder to keep pace with increasing demand and deliver the level of service our customers expect,” Haverfield explained. “Manhattan WMS has given us a modern foundation for our fulfilment network. We’ve been able to standardise processes across our sites, introduce warehouse automation and better manage peak trading periods, while creating a platform that can continue to evolve alongside our business.”

Since implementing Manhattan, Pet Circle has streamlined previously manual warehouse processes, improved operational consistency across its fulfilment network and strengthened its ability to manage peak trading periods. During the last Black Friday sales event, the retailer maintained same-day and next-day delivery services throughout almost the entire peak period – a significant improvement on previous years, when elevated order volumes could impact fulfilment for one to two weeks afterwards.

The solution has also delivered greater visibility across warehouse operations, providing richer operational data and audit trails that enable faster issue resolution, continuous optimisation and more informed decision-making. Pet Circle is now using these insights to further optimise its operations while exploring future automation opportunities across its fulfilment network.

Raghav Sibal, Vice President APAC at Manhattan Associates, said modern fulfilment operations require cloud native technology that can continually evolve alongside the business.

“To support today’s speed of operations, retailers need a flexible platform that can integrate automation, unlock greater operational visibility and continuously adapt as customer expectations evolve,” said Sibal. “Pet Circle’s transformation demonstrates how the right technology foundation can help businesses improve fulfilment performance today while supporting long-term growth and innovation.”

Looking ahead, Pet Circle plans to continue optimising warehouse processes across its national fulfilment network while evaluating further automation opportunities to support future growth.

Xinhua Silk Road: Transformation helps “north China capital of daily porcelains” seek bigger global presence

BEIJING, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — When the 2026 China (Beijing) International Exquisite Ceramics Expo kicked off on November 5, 20 ceramic producers from Huairen City of Shanxi Province, north China showcased not only delicate exhibits, but also the prowess of their porcelain artisans.

The exhibition offered visitors a chance to get a glimpse of Huairen’s porcelain industry whose transformation driven by technology innovation and development philosophy change has borne delightful fruits.

In September, Huairen municipal government was included in the list of founders for establishing demonstration zones for national geographical indication protection in China and was the only one selected in Shanxi Province.

Currently, the city is capable of producing over 20 series of ceramic products such as daily porcelains, hotel porcelains, packaging porcelains and porcelain artworks, and boasts an annual full-industrial chain output value of 6.3 billion yuan.

In Huairen Economic and Technological Development Zone, 31 local enterprises engaged in ceramic raw materials production, R&D, manufacturing, testing, logistics and marketing have leveraged digital technologies to transform production.

The old production model, which relied on veteran craftsmen judging firing temperature by sight and preparing glaze based on experience, has gradually been replaced by standardized and intelligent processes.

In the workshop of a local ceramic producer, robotic arms apply glaze with high precision, and intelligent kilns independently maintain constant temperatures, cutting the production cycle by nearly 30 percent.

At present, 42 production lines in Huairen have completed intelligent upgrading, helping raise qualified product rates of local producers to 85 percent while dropping unit energy consumption by 18 percent.

While intelligent manufacturing and green development are driving cost-effective production, Huairen ceramic businesses now focus more on design and building emotional and cultural bonds with consumers.

Just like the fine exhibits they brought to the Beijing expo from November 5 to 8, ceramic products of 1,000-plus types from Huairen, including elegant tableware for hotels and co-branded products printed with Disney characters, are on display in a spacious exhibition hall in Yiwu International Trade City.

Beside the hall, a 1,000-square-meter ceramics warehouse for cross-border trade is providing global merchants with access to one-stop product selection and order-placing, bringing Huairen ceramics to daily life of global consumers.

Oceanpayment to Showcase OP Link for Cross-Border QR Payments at SFF 2026

Oceanpayment will showcase OP Link at the Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF) 2026, taking place November 18–20 at Singapore EXPO.

HONG KONG, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Digital wallets and QR code payments are part of everyday life worldwide. From shopping and dining to getting around, consumers rely on familiar local wallets, which may not always be accepted abroad.

Using local wallets abroad involves more than adding a payment method. Payment networks, banking systems, and clearing arrangements vary by market. Cross-border QR payments require network connections, transaction data exchange, currency conversion, clearing, and settlement.

Greater interoperability between payment networks is playing an increasingly important role in extending local payment methods across borders.

A traveler may scan a merchant’s QR code with a familiar local wallet; the merchant accepts payment through its existing QR network. Providers across markets must coordinate transaction processing and settlement.

For wallet operators, banks, and payment service providers, cross-border connectivity can extend service reach, reduce duplicate integrations, and support more consumer payment scenarios.

To address this need, Oceanpayment offers OP Link, a cross-border payment connectivity service designed to connect local wallets with payment acceptance networks across markets. OP Link provides wallet operators, banks, payment service providers, and acquiring partners with QR payment connectivity, transaction routing, and support for clearing and settlement coordination. Its capabilities include network access, currency conversion, transaction status synchronization, and cross-network reconciliation, helping simplify coordination between payment systems and extend local payment services to more cross-border consumer scenarios.

As payment networks evolve, SFF 2026 will bring together finance and technology leaders to explore five forces reshaping global finance: geoeconomics, technology, capital, talent, and policy.

At SFF 2026, Oceanpayment will highlight OP Link’s cross-border wallet connectivity and QR payment network integration capabilities. It will also present its integrated payment solutions, including Global Acquiring, Global Issuing, OPCCOUNT (Global Accounts), and OPNexus (Payment Suite & Services).

Oceanpayment has integrated more than 500 payment methods, with services available in over 230 countries and regions. It supports more than 140 transaction currencies and over 10 settlement currencies, serving more than 200,000 businesses worldwide.

Global payment connectivity is reflected in every transaction, from consumers using local wallets abroad to payment networks working across markets. Oceanpayment will continue collaborating with financial institutions and payment network partners to connect local payment capabilities with cross-border consumer needs and support global commerce.
