---  the original post follows below  ---

The FDA recently made the following available online, Dietary Supplements, Import and Domestic - Ch 21 Food Composition, Standards, Labeling, and Economics - Food and Drug Administration (FDA) - Compliance Program Guidance Manual.

It's a great reference that should be reviewed by everybody in the dietary supplement sector. Of note:
  1. Part III - Inspectional - a wonderful listing of things to pay attention to, in almost checklist fashion
  2. Part V-A - GMP Violations - watch out! Don't commit any of these major deviations:
  • Lack of master manufacturing records or significant requirements not included
  • Lack of finished product release criteria or failure to test (all or subset of finished batches) or meet finished product release criteria critical to product safety and quality
  • For significant dietary ingredients, e.g. those that make up the bulk of the product, failure to establish specifications for incoming material or failure to conduct identity testing
  • No quality control review procedures or significant quality control procedures not implemented
  • No batch records
  • Significant physical plant deficiencies.
