This is an advance level webinar that explains how to conduct identity testing of dietary components and what resources are required. It will benefit those who order, purchase, receive, inspect and analyze dietary components. It will also benefit those who have managerial and decision-making responsibilities.
Why Should You Attend:
FDA CFR Part 111 requires identify testing of dietary components that are to be used to manufacture dietary supplements. Identify testing is only part of the FDA requirement. Specifications must also be properly set up, documented and used correctly. When purchasing dietary components for use in dietary supplements the FDA has requirements for vendor qualifications that tie into the specification requirements.
This webinar will define identity testing. It will also show how to set up proper specifications and how-to qualify the vendors that the material is purchased from.
