Dietary supplement regulation requires companies to seek careful legal guidance before bringing products to market.
Even though there is no requirement of premarket approval (unlike the case for drugs, which require FDA approval for safety and effectiveness), dietary supplements are in fact subject to a maze of regulation. This includes both FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and FTC (Federal Trade Commission) rules to ensure that dietary supplements:
In Consumer Justice Center v Olympian Labs, Inc, 99 Cal.App.4th 1056 (Ct. App., 4th Dist., 2002), the California Court of Appeal bluntly stated that a particular section of the DSHEA (codified at 21 USC section 343(r)):
is not the clearest legislation ever written. To be truthful, it is a nightmare of internal cross-references which makes parts of the Internal Revenue Code read like Hemingway in comparison.
As an example, the Court quoted the following:
“A statement of the type required by paragraph (q) of this section that appears as part of the nutrition information required or permitted by such paragraph is not a claim which is subject to this paragraph and a claim subject to clause (A) is not subject to clause (B).”
Typically, a legal consult involving dietary supplement labeling focuses on three important legal issues: the claims being made; the labeling; and substantiation.
Be sure to seek an attorney who is well-versed in all aspects of FDA and FTC laws and regulations before bringing new dietary supplement products to market.
