Claudia Lewis-Eng is participating in a webinar "Bringing New Ingredients to Market: FDA Guidance and Developments in the New Dietary Ingredient Notification Process" on December 10, 2008.
There have been many questions about the New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) notification process since it was created by DSHEA. What constitutes a "new dietary ingredient"? If a new manufacturing process is used on an old dietary ingredient, is it necessary to file a notification? What kind of data is required to file a successful notification? Does simply changing the conditions of use (serving size, frequency of use) require the filing of a new notification? FDA has been gathering comments on these critical issues for several years and is expected to publish a guidance document soon. In this live webinar, FDA's Dr. Bill Frankos and Dr. Dan Levy will provide insight into FDA's expectations. Joining Dr. Frankos and Dr. Levy is a panel of pundits who will discuss key issues such as how to decide when a NDI notification is necessary, how to meet the "reasonable expectation of safety" standard, and practical approaches to bringing a new ingredient to market. Any company that has introduced a new ingredient since DSHEA or that plans to in the future will find this Webinar extremely valuable. And manufacturers who have included a new ingredient in a product or that plan to will also benefit by understanding this evolving process. Don't miss this chance to hear first-hand from FDA and a panel of professionals how the NDI process and other related matters are changing the way new products come to market.
