  • What We DO

    We provide technical literature searches to the scientific and consumer product regulatory community

    When submitting commercial product applications to regulatory agencies, overlooking related research can negatively impact the approval process. Green Heron Information Services has the experience, expert knowledge, and database access to provide thorough technical literature searches in support of applications to agencies such as the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA).
