The FDA hopes that the new office can help target any criminal activities occurring within the supplements industry.
In a constituent update, the FDA said: “Elevating the program’s position will raise the profile of dietary supplements within the agency, and will enhance the effectiveness of dietary supplement regulation by allowing ODSP to better compete for government resources and capabilities to regulate this rapidly expanding industry.”
