FDA releases list of potentially unsafe dietary supplement ingredients
The FDA has launched the Dietary Supplement Ingredient Advisory List, an online tool that informs the public about chemical compounds that may be unsafe and unlawful to use in dietary supplements.
The new list is part of FDA’s ongoing effort to strengthen oversight of supplements and better protect consumers from unsafe products. The agency launched the initiative in February with an announcement that it is considering the most significant changes to its approach to supplements in 25 years. Because the list will be updated regularly, FDA encourages stakeholders to submit information that may support or refute preliminary assessments about various ingredients.
