USANA Health Sciences Inc. says it expects to move its stock listing from Nasdaq to the higher-profile New York Stock Exchange next month.

USANA, which has its headquarters in West Valley City, said this week it had completed the application process and was authorized to transfer the listing of its common stock to the NYSE. It expects its shares to begin trading there Jan. 3.

"We are pleased to list USANA on the NYSE, which is widely recognized as the world's premier stock exchange," USANA CEO Dave Wentz said in a statement. "This move represents an important partnership for USANA as we continue to increase our global brand presence."

USANA develops and manufactures nutritional, personal care and weight management products that are sold to independent distributors and directly to customers.
