    New York Dietary Supplement Manufacturer Ordered to Stop Selling Products

    Complaint claims Riddhi USA sold products that were prepared, packed or held in violation of cGMP regulations.

    A New York dietary supplement manufacturer has been ordered by a federal court to stop selling its products until the company comes into compliance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s dietary supplement manufacturing regulations and other requirements listed in a consent decree.
     
    The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York has entered a consent decree of permanent injunction with Riddhi USA, Inc. and Mohd M. Alam, president and owner of Riddhi USA, Inc., for selling adulterated and misbranded dietary supplements. The permanent injunction requires the defendants to cease directly or indirectly manufacturing or distributing dietary supplements.
     
    “Dietary supplement companies put the public’s health at risk when they repeatedly fail to follow good manufacturing practice regulations and omit required information about the product in their labeling,” said Melinda Plaisier, the FDA’s associate commissioner for regulatory affairs. “The FDA will continue to take action to protect the American public when companies violate the law.”
     
    Riddhi USA is a manufacturer that distributes dietary supplements wholesale. It does not market or advertise under its own brand. According to the complaint filed with the consent decree, the company violated the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act because its products were prepared, packed or held in violation of current good manufacturing practice regulations (cGMP). The violations included failing to establish product specifications for the identity, purity, strength and composition of the finished dietary supplements; inadequate master manufacturing and batch production records; lack of quality control procedures; and lack of procedures to investigate product complaints. Additionally, the products’ labeling failed to declare dietary ingredients, allergens and the manufacturer’s place of business.
     
    In 2016, the FDA issued a warning letter to Riddhi USA after a facility inspection identified violations of good manufacturing practice regulations and for failing to declare all ingredients on the products’ labels.
     
    Riddhi USA is not currently manufacturing any dietary supplements. Should it wish to begin manufacturing again, the consent decree prohibits Riddhi USA from receiving, processing, manufacturing, preparing, packing, holding and distributing dietary supplements until it hires an expert to ensure the company is following all cGMP regulations and following an inspection, receives FDA approval to resume operations.
     
    The U.S. Department of Justice filed the complaint on behalf of the FDA.
