Dr Fabricant in his own words
GMPs and NDIs featured heavily in a wide-ranging interview with Dr Daniel Fabricant, Director of the Division of Dietary Supplement Programs.
On GMPs, Dr Fabricant said the Agency’s inspectors are continuing to seeing more of the same problems as previous years, with the main violations still being basics.
“The topic of discussion should move to a more technical basis at this point,” he said. “We want it to. That’s what GMPs are about, and that’s how they move ahead.”
“These are products that 180 million Americans use every day and our expectation is that they meet basic quality standards.”
“We are going to take a look at how we do business, too. We have a lot of injunctions that are resource intensive, we do seizures as well. What tools can we use to get the rate down and do it quickly?”
