FDA Ingredient Reviews
Because the FDA typically regulates products based on both their ingredients and intended use, ingredient reviews are often the first stage in determining how products are regulated. In addition, under FDA regulations ingredients generally must be declared according to their common or usual name. These regulatory requirements are applicable to foods, dietary supplements and other FDA-regulated products. More information about FDA regulations pertaining to ingredient declarations may be accessed here.
Finally, it is important to note that certain ingredients must be listed separately in accordance with major allergen declaration requirements. These requirements dictate that major food allergens must be listed on all food and dietary supplement labels. Where major allergens are present and not listed according to the requirements under federal law, these products are deemed misbranded and may be subject to regulatory action.
