Education Sessions Wednesday, May 7th, 7:45am-11:45am

Highlights of the New Dietary Supplement GMPs
Sara J. Dent-Acosta, Consumer Safety Officer, Food and Dietary Supplements Division, San Diego Office, FDA
Highlights of the GMPs will be described with emphasis on how these rules are new and unique to manufacturers, packagers, distributors and holders of dietary supplement products. Learn how these rules are similar yet different from drug and conventional food regulations. This discussion will outline who is covered, compliance dates, the role of quality personnel, handling of raw materials, in-process controls and finish product testing requirements.

Legal Perspectives of the New Dietary Supplement GMPs
Paul Hyman, Partner, Hyman, Phelps and McNamara
Now that the GMPs are in place, manufacturing requirements for this newly regulated industry will move FDA enforcement to higher level of priority. Various aspects of interstate commerce enforcement including adulteration, misbranding and shipping will be reviewed. Discussion will include the most important implications of the GMPs and best approaches to compliance. 

What’s the Market Advantage? A Regulatory (Safety!), Quality and R&D Manufacturers Roundtable
How can your company gain market advantage and comply with the new rules? Consider the expert opinions from the USP, Shaklee and Pharmavite to help you adapt your company’s strategies. 

With over 20 years of regulatory and safety experience James C. Griffiths, Ph.D., Vice President of Food and Dietary Supplement Standards at the US Pharmacopeia, will identify the overall pros and cons GMPs contribute to consumer safety and how your company can embrace the new paradigm for quality and safety with consistent accurately identified ingredients.

Dir. of Quality Assurance, Contract Manufacturing, Shaklee Corporation, Margaret Pazirandeh is responsible for internal quality assurance and cGMP activities as well as those required of their contract manufacturers. She will provide insight on the increased responsibilities of the quality control unit, and additional requirements for raw material and finished product testing. Gain perspective on small vs. large companies as they relate to the timing of compliance to the regulations.

Director Research & Development, Pharmavite LLC, Jones Chan, has more than 25 years of product development experience in dietary supplements, nutraceuticals and conventional food products. Hear perspectives from this market leader on how to assess the necessary responses within R&D in terms of resources and processes without significantly affecting effectiveness and efficiency.

While the new GMP regulations do not require raw material manufacturers and intermediate form processors to meet all of the new standards, it is crucial that compliance with the new GMPs is implemented throughout the value chain serving the nutritional market. Minas R. Apelian, VP/GM, Health & Nutr., Huber Engineered Materials Nutrition will identify the many challenges this raw material manufacturer encounters from culture building, systems development, testing requirements, resource demands, to increased costs in doing business. 

Will the new GMPs change the way manufacturers evaluate their suppliers? To be considered a value-added supplier is it price driven or are there more complex factors such as customer support, extensive quality controls in all facets of the supply chain, or concept and technical expertise that significantly contributes to the commercial success of a dietary supplement? Barry Titlow, CEO, Compound Solutions, Inc. will assess these issues and best practices in order to comply with the new rules. 

Education Sessions Thursday, May 8th 9:00am-12:15pm

FDA, FTC and Supplier Roundtable: Global Supply Challenges

An FDA Update
Alonza E. Cruse, District Director, Los Angles Office, FDA

In this session, the FDA will provide an update on the work being done to ensure the industry has access to quality products. 

FTC Advertising Regulations for Dietary Supplements
Ann Stahl, Investigator, Federal Trade Commission
What is the FTC's role in regulating the advertising of dietary supplements? Gain a better understanding of the agency's legal authority and the remedies that exist including court orders, fines and consumer refunds. Recent FTC case studies will also be examined. An FTC handbook covering the requirements for scientific substantiation of advertising claims about dietary supplements will be discussed and distributed to participants. 

Sourcing Materials from China
David Zhang, Founder & CEO of Shanghai Freemen LifeScience & Shanghai Freemen Americas

Global Challenges and Opportunities Confronting the Dietary Supplement
Industry: A Capitol Hill Update
John P. Venardos, Vice President, Worldwide Regulatory & Government Affairs, Herbalife International of America, Inc.
A confluence of events finds the dietary supplement industry facing global challenges and opportunities. During his presentation, John Venardos will analyze: (1) the return to majority status by Congressional Democrats for the first time since passage of DSHEA in 1994 and its impact on the supplement industry; (2) active interest by some Congressional leaders in holding hearings and changing DSHEA; (3) impact of FDA’s promulgation of dietary supplement Good Manufacturing Practice regulations to ensure product quality; (4) how the new law mandating the reporting of serious adverse events for dietary supplements and OTC drugs will shape our industry; (5) stepped up enforcement by FDA and FTC; plus (6) the continued proliferation of inappropriate claims by regulatory outliers.

With a Dose of Creativity, Differentiate Your Product
Matthew Knopp, Editor, Tablets & Capsules
The FDA’s final rule is leveling the playing field and reducing the points of difference among makers and marketers of dietary supplements. The result is an increased need for enhancing product differentiation and value. One response to this trend is the application of new formulation and manufacturing methods. Hear the survey results on how companies are changing their manufacturing methods to differentiate their products, and the variations of complexity and cost!
