NPA chief on ‘outrageous’ FIFA supplement statements
John Shaw, executive director and CEO of the Natural Products Association (NPA), rose vigorously to the defense of the dietary supplements industry in the wake of statements made by an official of FIFA, the international governing body of soccer.
Jiri Dvorak, MD, FIFA’s chief medical officer, called into question the quality, safety and efficacy of dietary supplements.
“Unfortunately you have folks in positions of authority like the FIFA official who make broad statements that condemn our industry that have no basis in reality,” Shaw told NutraIngredients-USA.
