Dietary Supplement Good Manufacturing Practices

Dietary Supplement GMP is a one-stop "how-to" road map to the final dietary supplement GMP regulations recently issued by the FDA covering the manufacture, packaging, and holding of dietary supplement products. The recent regulations, outlining broad goals, intentionally avoid specifics to allow for future technological advances—leaving implementation to the discretion of each firm. Given this latitude and flexibility, this new resource is an essential source of workable and practical suggestions on ways the industry can best meet the goals. Based on broad experience with GMP compliance techniques worked out over the years in the food, drug, and medical device industries, it is a must-have guide for all DS companies, especially the many smaller firms for whom this is new territory. Dietary Supplement GMP provides: a practical guide in easy to understand language to help navigate through the requirements for systems covering process and quality control suggestions and practical recommendations on "how-to" achieve full compliance explanation of the FDA’s role regarding inspection, enforcement, recall/seizure of products and prosecution Dietary Supplement Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) covers: Personnel Plants and Grounds Equipment and Utensils Sanitation of Buildings and Equipment Quality Assurance and Laboratory Operations The Quality Control Unit Production and Process Controls

Highlighting key issues and differences among GMPs of Europe, Canada, and the WHO, this reference examines US law and governmental policy affecting domestic and multinational pharmaceutical manufacturing. The book recommend pragmatic ways to interpret and comply with FDA CGMP regulation and related criteria. They focus on geographical redistribution of manufacturing facilities, accommodation of a diversity of regulatory and statutory governance, adaptation to disparate human resources, and new growth areas of manufacture and distribution of homeopathic remedies and dietary supplements, in addition to the greater quality control required of pharmacists and other authorized dispensers.

This book provides insight into the world of pharmaceutical quality systems and the key elements that must be in place to change the business and organizational dynamics from task-oriented procedure-based cultures to truly integrated quality business systems that are self-detecting and correcting. Chapter flow has been changed to adopt a quality systems organization approach, and supporting chapters have been updated based on current hot topics including the impact of the worldwide supply chain complexity and current regulatory trends.

Supplemented with a handy keyword index, the Compact Regs series provides pocket-sized format (3 3/4 inch x 5 1/2 inch) verbatim reproductions of key US FDA regulations. The text is complete and has not been altered in any manner from the original source. Compact Regs Parts 110 and 111 covers good manufacturing practices for acid foods and batters. It describes prepackaging heat treatment of foodstuffs for a sufficient time and at a sufficient temperature to partially or completely inactivate the naturally occurring enzymes and effect other physical or biochemical changes in the food. It covers critical control points in a food process where there is a high probability that improper control may cause, allow, or contribute to a hazard or to filth in the final food, or decomposition of the final food. In short, the book covers food safety in food processing and manufacturing from the field to packaging and storage. This is the perfect low-cost tool for: employees as part of documented GMP training programs; suppliers/vendors so that they may provide components, labels, and parts with an understanding compliant with FDA requirements; and technicians charged with ensuring adherence to US FDA regulations.

Contrary to the common belief that dietary supplements are “unregulated” in the United States, nutrients and other dietary ingredient-containing products have been regulated in this country for a little over a century at least in some capacity, initially through the Pure Food and Drug Act (PFDA) of 1906 and culminating with the many anticipated regulations to be implemented following the recent enactment of the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010 (FSMA). The goal of this brief is to review and discuss the current statutes and regulations surrounding the ingredients, manufacturing standards, safety, and labeling of dietary supplements for the purpose of protecting consumers. ​
