FDA FOOD FACILITY REGISTRATION
The first step in ensuring that your product can be sold in the U.S. is to register your establishement with the FDA. Cosmereg can assist you with this process, to ensure that your business and your products fulfill the United States FDA Registration Requirements.
U.S. FDA AGENT SERVICE
Foreign manufacturers who wish to sell their dietary supplements on the U.S. market must register with the FDA via a US FDA Agent. These agents act as an intermediary between the FDA and the manufacturer and are the first point of contact for the FDA. Cosmereg can provide a U.S Agent service to any clients wishing to expand their business to the U.S. market.
FDA DSHEA PRODUCT COMPLIANCE
The FDA has strict guidelines for the manufacture and sale of dietary supplements in the U.S. Cosmereg can help to guide you through the FDA supplement regulation and DSHEA registration process and ensure continued compliance with regulations.
DIETARY SUPPLEMENT LABELING GUIDE
Manufacturers and vendors of dietary supplements are responsible for ensuring that they are safe and accurately labelled, in accordance with DSHEA and FDA regulations. Claims that dietary supplements can have an impact on human health must be substantiated. Cosmereg can help you to review product labelling and health claims, in accordance with FDA regulation.
FDA CGMP COMPLIANCE
The FDA also regulates manufacturing practices for many products sold within the U.S. The Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) are designed to ensure the quality of human pharmaceuticals in the U.S. Certain dietary supplements may also be subject to these regulations, depending on their purpose and intended use. Cosmereg can help to ensure that your business and your products comply with these standards.
ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING
It is the responsibility of the FDA to protect U.S. citizens from unsafe products. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to inform the FDA of any adverse events that could potentially be associated with their products. Cosmoreg can help your business to locate and complete the necessary documentation on the Safety Reporting Portal, as stipulated in section 761 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act.
PRIOR NOTICE
The FDA works with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to decide which foods or products containing foodstuffs can be imported into the country. The FDA Prior Notice is an electronic form that must be submitted before any food products or products containing food can be shipped to the U.S. Prior Notice is also required for deliveries of dietary supplements. Cosmereg can help you to manage your Prior Notice forms quickly and efficiently, to avoid delays in shipments to the U.S.
