Spring 2021 Analytical Committee Meeting
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), its Compliance Programs exist to provide instructions to FDA personnel for conducting activities to evaluate industry compliance with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and other laws administered by FDA. On September 30, 2020, FDA released its Compliance Program Guidance Manual (CPGM) titled “Dietary Supplements – Foreign and Domestic Inspections, Sampling, and Imports.” Per FDA, the goal of this CPGM is to ensure companies consistently manufacture dietary supplements of acceptable quality and minimize consumers’ exposure to adulterated and/or misbranded dietary supplements. Attend the webinar on March 18 to hear perspectives on the CPGM from an industry veteran and an FDA investigator. Aaron Secrist will speak from the vantage point of industry, and Justin Boyd will provide insight from FDA’s point of view.
Ingredient suppliers have an alphabet soup of compliance requirements, beyond those of FDA. From EPA to OSHA to even DOT, all product ingredients are regulated depending on the hazards involved in their production of use, additional requirements and federal agencies may be involved. Is your ingredient a hazardous good, does the manufacture of it produce hazardous waste? Is the material involved a SARA 313 and is there a particular Threshold Planning Quantity?
