Are you considering preparing and selling herbal products? Are you designing your attractive labels? If you stay “low and local,” traditional sharing and trading may allow you to stay under the radar of organizations like the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). However, to move into a more commercial setting—such as health food stores and all online retail venues—there are a vast array of “good manufacturing practices,” label requirements, and standards that must be met and mastered if you are committed to avoiding the costly pitfalls of becoming “pen pals” with the FDA and FTC.

This lecture outlines definitions of marketing and labeling that US government organizations regulate and specific resources where manufacturers can access compliance criteria. Ellen Kamhi, Ph.D., RN, shares her expertise as an herbal formulator and regulatory consultant in the Nutraceutical Industry. This will save you a lot of trouble in the future, as “I did not know!” is not a defense.

The objectives for this class are as follows:

1. Participants will evaluate their level of knowledge of FDA and FTC regulations of herbal product manufacturers.
2. Participants will differentiate between traditional sharing and trading, preparation of individualized herbal remedies for clients, and commercial product offerings.
3. Participants will define specific resources where they can access compliance criteria.

Open to all levels, from beginner to advanced.
