The FDA Draft Guidance on New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) Notifications will be re-issued in 2014, followed by a stakeholder comment period and another window of time for FDA to publish final NDI guidance. A significant amount of time will pass before industry has final guidance. However, ingredient innovation can't wait and compliance with the NDI provisions of DSHEA is mandatory now! Currently industry NDI activity is inconsistent, with some firms basing business decisions on the July 2011 draft guidance and others acting is if compliance is optional until final guidance is available, which is not the case!
In the absence of final guidance, some firms have reported their challenges with ingredient status decisions, many of which will be addressed by our experts during this webinar. For example:
How do I determine whether an ingredient is "new" or "old"?
What resources can I use to feel confident in this decision?
If the ingredient is determined to be in the food supply prior to DSHEA (and thus "old"), is the particular form of the ingredient I am using chemically altered?
If FDA has not objected to an NDI submission on an ingredient, but I am buying it from a different supplieram I still covered?
What if I have a new ingredient and I am prepared to invest in safety studies: should I focus my resources on obtaining generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status or submit an NDI notification?
This CRN/VIRGO webinar will convene regulatory expertsthree formerly with FDAand FDA's current Director of Dietary Supplement Programs, Daniel Fabricant, Ph.D., to discuss NDIs in the current environment. The presenters will address these real-life questions CRN has received from the dietary supplement industry.
Keep this in mind: Ingredient innovation decisions for long-term success are happening now. In the absence of final NDI guidance, a product that is not compliant with the NDI provisions of DSHEA is still an adulterated product. Participate in this webinar to gain significant clarification from current and past FDA experts on how to make sound ingredient regulatory decisions to secure long-term success for new ingredients.
