"“Multivitamins are commonly assumed to be safe, but our analysis suggests multivitamins, which may include multivitamin ‘plus’ combination products, can also contain botanical and herbal ingredients that have the potential to interact with prescription medications,” Harris Lieberman told Reuters Health in an email."

Getting it Right on Spent Grains | FDA Voice

Updated October 20, 2021

The original link broke.

You can still read about the same topic here:

---  the original post follows below  ---

Getting it Right on Spent Grains | FDA Voice:

"We've heard from trade groups and members of Congress, as well as individual breweries raising concerns that FDA might disrupt or even eliminate this practice by making brewers, distillers, and food manufacturers comply not only with human food safety requirements but also additional, redundant animal feed standards that would impose costs without adding value for food or feed safety.

That, of course, would not make common sense, and we're not going to do it.

In fact, we agree with those in industry and the sustainability community that the recycling of human food by-products to animal feed contributes substantially to the efficiency and sustainability of our food system and is thus a good thing. We have no intention to discourage or disrupt it."

FDA Seeks to Regulate e-Cigs, All Other Tobacco Products - Medscape:

"The FDA initially announced its intention to assert jurisdiction over unregulated tobacco products back in 2010. In April 2011, the FDA announced its plans to include e-cigarettes among these products.

The new proposal would extend the FDA's basic authority to all other tobacco products beyond what it already regulates on the basis of the 2009 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act.

Currently, unregulated tobacco products include not only e-cigarettes but large and small cigars, as well as hookah and pipe tobacco, smokeless tobacco, and other tobacco products."
