The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is now accepting online submission of voluntary and mandatory dietary supplement adverse event reports.
The FDA has implemented a secure capability in the interest of efficiency and as a convenience to dietary supplement manufacturers, packers and distributors, as well as the public at large. Both mandatory and voluntary dietary supplement adverse event reports (currently the 3500A and 3500 forms, respectively) may now be submitted online.
Dear Judges Gonzalez Rogers, White and McNulty:
This letter responds to your Orders issued on July 11, July 25 and November 1, 2013 respectively, in the above-referenced cases, which referred to the question of whether food products containing ingredients produced using bioengineered ingredients may be labeled "Natural" or "All Natural" or "100% Natural" to the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA" or "agency") for an administrative determination under 21 C.F.R. § 10.25 (c).

Exploiting the public's rising concern about concussions, some companies are offering untested, unproven and possibly dangerous products that claim to prevent, treat or cure concussions and other traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is monitoring the marketplace and taking enforcement actions where appropriate, issuing warning letters to firms-the usual first step for dealing with claims that products labeled as dietary supplements are intended for use in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease. The agency is also warning consumers to avoid purported dietary supplements marketed with claims to prevent, treat, or cure concussions and other TBIs because the claims are not backed with scientific evidence that the products are safe or effective for such purposes. These products are sold on the Internet and at various retail outlets, and marketed to consumers using social media, including Facebook and Twitter.
