The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently expressed concerns over undeclared or deceptively labeled ingredients in products marketed as dietary supplements.

These substances include the active ingredient in FDA-approved drugs, or other compounds, such as novel synthetic steroids, that do not qualify as dietary ingredients.

From News-medical.net:

In recent years, FDA has alerted consumers to nearly 300 tainted products marketed as dietary supplements and received numerous complaints of injury associated with these products.

The FDA’s letter emphasizes that manufacturers and distributors are responsible for ensuring that their products comply with the law. Five major trade associations – Council for Responsible Nutrition, Natural Products Association, United Natural Products Alliance, Consumer Healthcare Products Association and American Herbal Products Association– are joining FDA on a call for media and have agreed to share the letter widely within the industry.

“These tainted products can cause serious adverse effects, including strokes, organ failure, and death,” said FDA Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D. “The manufacturers selling these tainted products are operating outside the law.”

The FDA is seeking input and collaboration from dietary supplement trade associations to educate the industry about this problem and to help develop new strategies to combat it, according to Hamburg.

A new RSS feed was announced by the FDA for issuing a quick warning to consumers about tainted products marketed as dietary supplements.
