An Advanced Course on the Final FDA GMP Rule for Dietary Supplements U.S. FDA's good manufacturing practices (GMP) rule for dietary supplements, published 18 months ago, is an important regulation with stringent requirements for companies involved with the manufacturing, packaging, labeling and holding of dietary supplements. The FDA has started GMP inspections for companies with more than 500 FTE employees and will begin GMP inspections for companies with 20 or more FTE employees beginning July 2009. To help the industry partners understand and comply with the new rule, and prepare for eventual regulatory inspections under the FDA GMPs, the NPA will be holding a day and half long educational seminar to discuss the impact and provisions of the final rule. Over 1,000 industry representatives have already attended this popular seminar, exploring the challenges of the new regulation and gaining valuable insight on addressing compliance to the FDA GMPs. ? 2009 seminars ?
