NHP regulations dictate natural products must gain a Natural Products license by January 1, 2010, but Dicentra Inc says Health Canada will act with a soft touch as the deadline approaches, due in part to a backlog in applications.
The fact the regulation says, “All natural health products must comply with all the Regulations by January 1, 2010”, should be understood in the context of a backlog and a focus on drug-like products.
“The NHPD has stated that they will not focus their enforcement action on those products that do not pose an undue risk,” Dicentra said.
