Draper, Utah: May 29 2014

I will be presenting an “Overview of Recent FDA Enforcement Activities in Dietary Supplements” at this FREE PerkinElmer event on “Analytical Testing of Dietary Supplements“. The meeting is focused on quality control for supplement manufacturers and includes sessions on metals testing and FTIR for botanical ingredients. The seminar will be held on May 29 in Draper, Utah. See flyer for more details and registration.

Abstract for my session (scheduled after lunch):

“Good Manufacturing Practices for Dietary Supplements (21 CFR Part 111) have now been in place for over 5 years.  FDA recently stated that around 70% of dietary supplement firms inspected so far have been found to have one or more CGMP defects or violations.  FDA periodically releases information on its enforcement activities, such as inspection observations provided to firms via 483’s, and Warning Letters.  This presentation gives an overview on what these data reveal about industry compliance, with a focus on laboratory operations, testing, and analytical methods”.

Hope to see you there!
