THE NATURAL PRODUCTS ASSOCIATION TELLS US WHAT
THE "HOT TOPICS" WILL BE THIS COMING YEAR!

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT THAT?
PROCEDURE - Standard Operating Procedures and Good Manufacturing/Marketing Practices.
CLAIMS - Claims control, definition and substantiation...
and the FDA required S & F Claims Notice.
TRAINING - It's not enough to have procedures says FDA:
YOU have to train you team and prove they are qualified.

“The FDA Agents said they’d be at our company for at least 6 days.
We showed them the SOPs Counsel Ralph prepared for us
and they were gone in about 2 days… no threats!!”
The Pressure is on: "Dietary supplement manufacturers are facing a high level of regulatory scrutiny from the government as a result of the study released last week by the U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services Office of the Inspector General. This study raises new concerns that structure/function claims are not accurate and misleading to consumers. A sample of 127 dietary supplements were reviewed and concluded 'Overall, substantiation documents for the sampled supplements were inconsistent with FDA guidance on competent and reliable scientific evidence.' Plus, another study by the HHS OIG reviewed labels for the required adverse event contact information and found that a shocking '20 percent of dietary supplement labels in our sample did not provide the required telephone numbers or addresses.'"Look for the Vitamin Lawyer Regulatory Compliance Certification Program...

Last issue of the Update eMemo told you about the FDA inspection last month of one of the Vitamin Lawyer Consultancy clients. I was on the phone with that client several times a day, over the course of the inspection. They were ready. Are YOU?
Now, the Natural Products Association confirms what I told you. In a special email broadcast, the NPA notified its members, which include all the largest vitamin companies --
FDA is Taking Inspections to the Next Level—Are You Ready?
FDA is concerned with the current lack of GMP compliance and is preparing to take a closer look during inspections. FDA has also said they are circling back to companies who have already been inspected. Dr. Daniel Fabricant, director of FDA's Division of Dietary Supplement Programs recently stated, “the majority of inspections [the FDA] have done have resulted in a non-compliance atmosphere, whether resulting in a warning letter or just observations on the 483s.”
There is no logical alternative to getting ready NOW.
YOUR PAPERS MUST BE IN ORDER.
I can provide you with the formats needed to meet the new standards and guide you to “tweak” and implement them. This includes -
[1] the all-important, updated SOPs format for you to "tweak" for your company,
[2] the critical clauses to include in your Manufacturer’s standard contract form and
[3] the Structure and Function Claims Notice format.
ONCE YOUR PAPERS ARE IN ORDER,
I CAN CONDUCT A TRAINING WEBINAR
FOR YOUR COMPANY AND CERTIFY
YOUR COMPLIANCE FOR FDA REGULATION.
FOR YOUR COMPANY AND CERTIFY
YOUR COMPLIANCE FOR FDA REGULATION.
