The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced a May 16 public meeting entitled “Responsible Innovation in Dietary Supplements.” On Feb. 11, 2019, the FDA announced new efforts to strengthen the regulation of dietary supplements by modernizing and reforming its oversight. The purpose of the public meeting is to give interested parties an opportunity to present ideas for facilitating responsible innovation in the dietary supplement industry while preserving the FDA’s ability to protect the public from unsafe, misbranded or otherwise unlawful dietary supplements.

Public meeting attendees are encouraged to register online to attend the meeting in person or to participate via webcast.
