The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has expressed concern about undeclared or deceptively labeled ingredients in products marketed as dietary supplements, in a letter sent to manufacturers of dietary supplements.

These substances include the active ingredients in FDA-approved drugs or their analogs, or other compounds, such as novel synthetic steroids.

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 has also announced a new RSS feed to warn consumers more quickly about tainted products marketed as dietary supplements.
