FDA initiative to limit pharmacy compounding: Future risks to dietary supplements?
Does FDA’s recent delisting of a number of “nominated” dietary ingredients that have been traditionally utilized by compounding pharmacies pose a threat to the availability of these ingredients and finished products in the retail marketplace?
Could this administrative record, based on supposed safety issues, lead to a congressional reopening of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) to restrict consumer access to these and additional supplements and give FDA more authority over these products? In this special United Natural Products Alliance (UNPA) webinar, integrative medicine attorney Alan Dumoff lays out the history of compounded pharmaceutical products, why the FDA review has been initiated and what it could mean for the supplement industry. |

UNPA Regulatory Update: Nutrition Facts, Master Files and Prop 65
|
By Frank Lampe
This article originally appeared in the Summer 2018 issue of ingredentonline.com’s quarterly magazine. Like them or not, regulations are the backbone of the dietary supplement industry. Here are three areas of regulation in play, which will all have a major impact on supplement manufacturing and production in the years to come. Supplement Facts: compliance dates extended, but still lots to act on Effective July 2016, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration enacted a major revision to the Nutrition Facts labels on foods in order to better provide updated nutrition information to assist consumers in maintaining healthy dietary practices and to help them make more-informed food choices. Many of these changes also impact the Supplement Facts labels for dietary supplements. |
