Section 402(g) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 342 (g)) gives the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) explicit authority to issue a rule establishing Current Good Manufacturing Practice for dietary supplements. Section 402(g)(1) of the act states that a dietary supplement is adulterated if "it has been prepared, packed, or held under conditions that do not meet current good manufacturing practice regulations." Section 402(g)(2) of the act authorizes FDA to, by regulation, "prescribe good manufacturing practices for dietary supplements." Under section 701(a) of the act (21 U.S.C. 371), FDA may issue regulations necessary for the efficient enforcement of the act.
Records are an indispensable component of CGMP. The records required by this final rule provide the foundation for the planning, control, and improvement processes that constitute a quality control system. Implementation of these processes in a manufacturing operation serves as the backbone to CGMP. The records will show what is to be manufactured; what was, in fact, manufactured; and whether the controls that the manufacturer put in place to control the identity, purity, strength, and composition and limits on contaminants and to prevent adulteration were effective. Further, records will show whether and what deviations from control processes occurred, facilitate evaluation and corrective action concerning these deviations (including, where necessary, whether associated batches of product should be recalled from the marketplace), and enable a manufacturer to assure that the corrective action was effective. In addition, by requiring records, the agency will be able to ensure that firms follow CGMPs so that they ensure the quality of their dietary supplements during manufacturing, packaging, labeling, or holding operations. The final rule establishes the minimum manufacturing practices necessary to ensure that dietary supplements are manufactured, packaged, labeled, or held in a manner that will ensure the quality of the dietary supplements during manufacturing, packaging, labeling or holding operations.
