Roles of quality control Laboratory operations Material reviews and dispositions Returned products Product complaints Review and approval of manufacturing equipment Master and batch record approvals Packaging and labeling oversight Procedures and records maintenance

28 Dietary Supplements CGMPS for Manufacturing Plants and Equipment (Dietary 03) The U.S. Federal Drug Administration issued the Dietary Supplement Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cgmp) Final Rule (21 CFR Part 111) in The regulations cover good practice in all stages of the product s life cycle from manufacturing through packaging and labeling to storage, including ongoing operations, testing, consumer complaint handling, and design. Procedures and practices designed to keep equipment operating properly and to prevent product contamination are a key focus of several specific GMP regulations. This course will familiarize the learner with the FDA requirements for manufacturing plants and grounds including design and construction, and requirements for sanitation, equipment and utensils, automated equipment, contamination prevention, and record keeping. 22 Requirements for manufacturing plants Sanitation in the physical plant Utilities requirements Plant design and construction Important considerations for equipment and utensils Requirements for automated equipment Records and documentation Dietary Supplements - Introduction to Part 111 CGMPs (Dietary 02) In the wake of mounting concerns over contaminated ingredients increasingly found in foods, animal feeds, and health products sold to U.S. consumers, the U.S. Federal Drug Administration (FDA) issued the Dietary Supplement Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cgmp) Final Rule (21 CFR Part 111) in June, The final rule requires that manufacturing companies maintain proper controls during the manufacturing, packaging, labeling, and holding operations of dietary supplements. After completing this course you will be familiar with the origin and scope of cgmps for dietary supplements. You will also be able to identify the purpose of general provisions and personnel subparts as well as the 16 basic subparts of the 21 CFR Part 111 Final Rules.
