Many of our dietary supplement clients have come to us for proactive assistance with proper labeling and other FDA regulatory issues.  Unfortunately, some companies only found us after they had problems and were subject to enforcement action by FDA.  It is expensive and time consuming to have to respond to FDA warning letters or have products held at the border.  Further, some violations raise the possibility of product recalls or even complete removal of the product from the US market.  My team and I do our best to alert our clients and help them understand the FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) regulations and I want to be sure you have heard about two opportunities to learn more about them.
