Making Progress in Protecting Consumers from Unsafe Supplements | FDA Voice

Read Dr. Ostroff's (FDA) full comments: Making Progress in Protecting Consumers from Unsafe Supplements | FDA Voice:

"We want to expand our use of criminal investigation and enforcement tools to address serious safety-related violations and cases of intentional fraud; and further build strategic investigatory and enforcement collaborations with the Federal Trade Commission, Department of Justice, and state governments, including state health departments and attorneys general.

Ultimately our top priority is to protect the consumers who want to improve, not damage, their health and have a right to expect that dietary supplements will be safe for them and their families."

Given the apparent reluctance of the FTC to create exemptions from this regulation, most companies regulated by FDA must determine if the Rule applies to them. If the answer is yes, there is an August 1, 2009 deadline fast approaching to develop and implement a compliance plan.
