Executive Summary
DIETARY SUPPLEMENT MANDATORY SHELF LIFE OR EXPIRATION DATING SUPPORTED by the Nonprescription Drug Manufacturers Association in June 6 comments to FDA. NDMA notes that the agency's Feb. 6 advance notice of proposed rulemaking on Good Manufacturing Practices for dietary supplements does not specifically require shelf life or expiration dating ("The Tan Sheet" Feb. 10, pp. 2-5). However, NDMA states: "It is in the best interest of the consumer that a shelf life or an expiration date, whichever is appropriate for the dietary supplement, be required."
