“21 CFR Part 111 CURRENT GOOD MANUFACTURING PRACTICE IN MANUFACTURING, PACKAGING, LABELING, OR HOLDING FOR DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS”

The FDA issued a final rule in the Federal Register  June 25, 2007, establishing regulations to require current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) for dietary supplements. The regulations became effective August 24, 2007.

The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994 requires manufacturers to substantiate the safety of their products, and this new rule establishes cGMPs to assure the potency of the product and reduce risks associated with dietary supplements that have been adulterated or misbranded.

Requirements for designing and constructing physical plants, establishing quality control procedures, testing manufactured dietary ingredient and dietary supplements, and handling customer complaints are included in this new rule.

cGMPs is a way to help ensure safer products, and this presentation will focus on the requirements as they apply to manufacturers of dietary ingredients, and will include information and requirements for:

Personnel                                                                      Manufacturing Operations
Physical Plant & Grounds                            Packaging and Labeling Operations
Equipment & Utensils                                                 Holding and Distribution
Production & Process Control System           Product Complaints
Quality Control                                                      Adverse Event Reporting
Laboratory Operations                                                 Records and Record Keeping
Components, Packaging, Labeling                          Electronic Records
Master & Batch Manufacturing Records             Recall Procedures

You will learn how these regulations affect YOUR company and how you can be compliant with these regulations.
