Why Should You Attend:

The US FDA issued a final rule (law) regarding current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) for dietary supplements in August 2007, 21 CFR 111, Dietary Supplements CGMPs. It established the minimum CGMPs necessary for activities related to manufacturing, packaging, labeling, or holding dietary supplements to ensure the quality of the dietary supplement. It is one of many actions related to dietary supplements that the FDA has taken to promote and protect the public health, when voluntary / trade association inspections failed to do so. Even with this recent law, some companies have continued to add undeclared / illegal ingredients to some dietary supplements, especially in weight loss and sexual enhancement products. What is required to be in compliance, in raw materials, in production, testing, and documentation?
