Executive Summary
EVENING PRIMROSE OIL IMPORT DETENTION "ILLEGAL" UNDER S 784 because the new dietary supplement law excludes such ingredients from the definition of a "food additive," attorneys Robert Ullman and Steven Shapiro (Bass & Ullman) contended in a Nov. 10 letter to FDA. "In light of S 784," the attorneys argued, "it is illegal for the agency to continue to detain encapsulated evening primrose oil dietary supplements...or bulk evening primrose oil, which is intended for use in dietary supplements, on a food additive charge."
