Course Description:
Developing, manufacturing and maintaining a food or nutritional supplement product in the market is a complex and challenging task. At every step of the process, there is the potential that regulatory requirements will become barriers to the marketplace or in continuing services.
While news reports discuss the diminishing funds for many government programs, it seems that the FDA remains unaffected. In fact, FDA Warning Letters continue to rise in number, indicating that the need for compliance to the regulations is more important than ever. While it may be human nature to take on a "big brother is out to get us" attitude, the fact remains that the recipients of these enforcement actions have simply had deficiencies in their quality systems and processes.
The ripple effect has extended to websites that make health claims for products that have not been properly managed in today's regulatory environment. And it is important to note that the FDA need not send an investigator to the place of business. A few key taps can begin a web review that can effectively shut down a burgeoning web business.
While food processing inspections have been steady and ongoing, nutritional supplement manufacturers are now getting FDA’s attention. An area that previously flew under the radar, the nutritional or dietary supplement industry has regulations similar to that of medical device and pharmaceutical companies, which are much more complex than food regulations. However, unlike the device and pharma regulations, dietary supplements' regulations are presented by the FDA in a reader-friendly Q and A format in addition to the stiffly-penned regulations. As a result of increased scrutiny, Warning Letters to dietary supplement manufacturers have steadily increased over the past three to five years.
