The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has unveiled a new Dietary Supplement Ingredient Directory, and in turn retiring the FDA Dietary Supplement Ingredient Advisory List. The directory is a list of 27 ingredients used in products marketed as dietary supplements with links to agency actions taken against the ingredients or other communications about each ingredient on the list. The directory is not a comprehensive list of all ingredients on the market, but instead focuses on ingredients that may not be considered dietary ingredients by FDA, or have been subject to warning letter and safety bulletins.
According to the constituent update announcing the directory, it is “intended to help manufacturers, retailers, and consumers stay informed about ingredients that may be found in products marketed as dietary supplements and quickly locate information about such ingredients on the FDA’s website.”
The directory is will be updated periodically and those signed up the Dietary Supplement Ingredient Advisory listserv will be automatically informed or any updates to the directory.
