Susan Brienza | Perhaps it was foreordained that I practice FDA regulatory compliance law, given that my Mom grew up above her parents’ grocery store, and raised me examining food labels and learning the nutritional excellence of the Mediterranean diet. Since 1997, I have counseled clients in the natural products industry in FDA and FTC (advertising law) regulatory compliance–from product concept, to formulation, manufacture, benefit claims, labeling, and marketing. Product categories I cover include: organic foods, energy drinks, “functional foods,” dietary supplements, OTC drugs, medical foods, homeopathic drugs, and cosmetics. In addition, I have counseled on cannabis, hemp, and CBD products since 2012.
