The FDA has unveiled its new Dietary Supplement Ingredient Directory, a webpage where the public can look up ingredients used in products marketed as dietary supplements to quickly find what the FDA has said about that ingredient and whether the agency has taken any action with regard to the ingredient. The directory is in list form and includes links to the agency’s actions and communications for each ingredient on the list. If there is a separate FDA webpage for the ingredient, the directory links to that page. The directory is intended to be a one-stop shop of ingredient information previously found on different FDA webpages. This directory is intended to help manufacturers, retailers, and consumers stay informed about ingredients that may be found in products marketed as dietary supplements and quickly locate information about such ingredients on the FDA’s website.
