cGMP Compliance Series: Shelf Life Statements on Dietary Supplement Labels
The new Good Manufacturing Practice regulations for dietary supplements require that manufacturers with shelf life statements on their labels have appropriate scientific substantiation. However, expiration dates are not required by the rule, and the cGMPs released in June provide little to no guidance as to what qualifies as scientific substantiation. Manufacturers are left wondering whether it is in their best interest to provide a shelf life statement and, if so, what the appropriate testing programs are for substantiating shelf life – a daunting and difficult task for manufacturers and marketers of herbal products. 

To help manufacturers and marketers comply with GMPs, the American Herbal Products Association offers an information-packed tele-seminar, "Shelf Life Statements on Dietary Supplement Labels."

 

You’ll have a chance to gain regulatory, legal and scientific insight from these knowledgeable speakers:

 

¨      Anthony Young, Esq., general counsel to AHPA and a partner with the law firm Kleinfeld, Kaplan and Becker, LLP, Washington D.C., will explore the dietary supplement cGMP implications of providing shelf life statements on dietary supplement products. Tony has practiced food, drug and environmental law since 1974. He advises and represents domestic and foreign suppliers, manufacturers and marketers and serves as AHPA General Counsel

 

¨      Michael McGuffin, president of AHPA, is the spokesman for the herbal products industry before state and federal agencies and has twice served on a working group and a subcommittee of FDA’s Food Advisory Committee. Michael’s presentation will address shelf life statements on dietary supplements from a regulatory and practical perspective.  Michael recently authored the association’s highly praised Annotated Final Rule on Dietary Supplement cGMP.

 

¨      Jeff Stassi, program manager for dietary supplement testing at Covance Laboratories, acts as a primary liaison for dietary supplement clients as well as providing expertise on designing comprehensive testing programs to meet scientific and regulatory requirements. He has over 22 years of experience in laboratory operations and client management and has set up testing programs for hundreds of clients within the dietary supplement supply chain. Jeff will address concerns and answer questions related to the execution and substantiation of stability studies.

Good Agricultural and Collection Practices
The new GMPs regulations for dietary supplements require manufacturers to establish quality specifications for identity, purity, strength, and composition, and limits on contaminants. For herbal products, that quality begins in the soil and is the first link in the GMP chain. All raw materials — whether grown on a farm or gathered in the wild — must be grown and handled properly after harvest or collection in order to meet those GMP quality standards. This two-hour tele-seminar provides information on getting the best quality raw materials from the field or forest, and how the grower and wildcrafter can meet buyers’ standards.

To help herbal ingredient growers, collectors, brokers and manufacturers understand each others’ needs and comply with federal and state regulations, AHPA General Counsel Anthony Young(Kleinfeld, Kaplan & Becker); Edward J. Fletcher, COO, Strategic Sourcing; Mark Wheeler, founder, owner & operator, Pacific Botanicals; and Rupa Das, VP of Global Quality and Compliance, BI Nutraceuticals, presented this highly informative two-hour educational tele-seminar, which covers such issues as:

• Identification
• Quality Assurance
• Cleanliness
• Environmental stewardship
• Legal conformity
• Optimal harvest conditions

Debriefing the FDA’s cGMP Implementation Seminar
In October 2007, four months after publishing the current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) regulations for dietary supplements in June, the Food and Drug Administration held a multi-media educational event for stakeholders, Overview of the Implementation of the Current Good Manufacturing Practices for Dietary Supplements Guidance for Industry. During that event, FDA gave some interesting and sometimes surprising insight into how they intend to implement the new cGMP rules. AHPA was ready the very next day with this debriefing that offers expertise to answer specific questions and dispel any confusion that arose from the FDA overview. This important event offers the insight you need to comply with the regs and stay in business! 

AHPA understands that the cGMPs will affect your business in many ways, and that some of these regulations are complicated. To ensure you have the knowledge and tools to comply, AHPA offers its expertise to answer specific questions. In order to comply and stay in business, learn from AHPA President Michael McGuffin and AHPA’s general counsel, Tony Young, Esq.

• Both have closely scrutinized the GMPs throughout their development, understanding their practical applications and legal details and providing comments on behalf of industry to shape their final form.
• Both have also participated in AHPA’s ongoing series of educational tele-seminars on GMPs.
• McGuffin authored AHPA’s Annotated Final Rule on Dietary Supplement cGMP, which links key points and comments found in FDA’s lengthy preamble to the final GMP rule to each specific section of 21 CFR 111 to which it applies.

Course materials include:

• Audio CD of the AHPA event
• An unedited transcript of the AHPA event

cGMP Compliance Series: Adverse Event Reporting: Strategies for Compliance
AHPA presents strategic regulatory, medical and legal perspectives to help companies comply with the Dietary Supplement and Nonprescription Drug Consumer Protection Act, which goes into effect December 2007 and requires dietary supplement manufacturers to file serious adverse event reports (AERs) with the Food and Drug Administration. In addition to reviewing the regulation and FDA’s guidance document, AHPA provides practical documents and insights from these expert speakers:

• Anthony Young, Esq, of Kleinfeld, Kaplan & Becker LLP, and AHPA’s General Counsel — reviews your legal obligations under the new law, the Dietary Supplement and Nonprescription Drug Consumer Protection Act. In addition to reviewing FDA’s guidance document, he will also describe how the law differentiates a serious AER from an AER and a customer complaint and explain required reports and recordkeeping requirements.
• Michael McGuffin,AHPA’s President — focuses on how companies should communicate with their customers and how to use the current MedWatch form.  He will also discuss the information needed to create a complete record of each report and add his insights into the FDA guidance.
• Tieraona Low Dog, MD, Director of Education for the Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine and a Clinical Lecturer for the University of Arizona College of Pharmacy —explains important considerations when recording adverse event history, including how to focus on the clinical course of the reported event, medical history, recording concomitant use of other medical products and other relevant medical information.

Questions they answer include:

• How do we communicate AER information to our contracted manufacturer? Who should take those calls? Who should follow up afterwards?
• Can we handle this task in-house, or do we need to contract someone?
• Which MedWatch form should we use? None of them are really for dietary supplement or OTC products.
• We don’t have doctors on staff, so how (and who) decides if an AER is serious?
• How much should we follow-up after an adverse event is reported? 
• Do we have to show our AER files to FDA during inspections? 
• How can we get accurate information, and how much of their medical history is important?
• What should we tell our health food store and practitioner clients? 

Support documents to help your company comply with the law include:

• “AER vs. Customer Complaint” — a decision-making flow chart
• Mandatory MedWatch form and facsimile MedWatch form
• “Quick Glance Advice about Mandatory Reporting”
• AHPA’s instructive form for recording information concerning an adverse event associated with dietary supplement product use

Navigating FDA’s New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) Notification Requirements If your products include ingredients that came on the market after DSHEA was passed in 1994, you may have a serious problem. All herbal and dietary supplement companies must understand FDA’s NDI notification requirement so you may ensure that the ingredients in your products are lawful and not NDIs that have never been filed with FDA. Further, the success rate for those who do file these "75-day notices" is very low, often due to fundamental mistakes made when preparing notifications. AHPA has committed to becoming the supplement industry’s expert on NDIs, and you benefit from that expertise. Analyzing NDI submissions and FDA responses has led to the AHPA NDI Database, which cuts through the confusion of the FDA dockets. And AHPA has now published a practical guidance document to help companies increase their success in filing NDI notifications. AHPA’s Interim Guidance for New Dietary Ingredient Notifications for Manufacturers of Distributors of New Dietary Ingredients explains the NDI regulations, details what information to include (and exclude) in a notification, and provides three practical hands-on worksheets: Determination of Requirement to Submit Submission of NDI Notification Cover Letter Template for Notification Submission What you’ll learn from these experts: Anthony Young, Esq, of Kleinfeld, Kaplan & Becker LLP, and AHPA’s General Counsel — defines an NDI and outlines what’s at stake for your company in today’s regulatory climate, what "filing without comment" means, the meaning of a negative response from FDA, and more Marc S. Ullman, Esq, of Ullman, Shapiro and Ullman — provides insight into the FDA NDI review process and describes common mistakes by submitters, how FDA seems to try not to approve NDIs, and FDA limitations on NDIs, even those that are filed "without comment" James T. Heimbach, PhD, FACN, President of JHeimbach Food and Nutrition Consulting — discusses the types of safety substantiation that FDA has found to be adequate to allow an NDI notification to be accepted without FDA comment Michael McGuffin, AHPA President — describes the AHPA NDI Database, which provides detailed analysis of NDI notifications as well as links to all of the FDA files containing those notifications In this packet, materials include: AHPA’s Interim Guidance for New Dietary Ingredient Notifications for Manufacturers of Distributors of New Dietary Ingredients Food and Drug Law Journal article reprint by McGuffin and Young, Premarket Notifications of New Dietary Ingredients: A Ten-Year Review Course Outline & Speakers Bios Transcript, including a link to an online Macromedia Flash tour and demonstration of AHPA’s NDI Database, and answers to questions posed by attendees Audio CD MEMBER PRICE: $220 BUY IT NOW!
