FDA has just released inspection observations for FY 2016. Preliminary data (see chart above) show that the total number of inspectional observations for dietary supplement cGMPs rose in FY 2016, having declined for the previous several fiscal years.
The most commonly cited observation in FY 2016 was once again failure to set appropriate specifications for finished dietary supplements, namely 21 CFR Sect. 111.70(e) Specifications – identity, purity, strength, composition.
