CFSAN’s Office of Nutritional Products, Labeling, and Dietary Supplements (ONPLDS), Bethesda, MD, recently realigned its operations. The office is now organized by product categories to better align and coordinate staff activities and to make ONPLDS more identifiable to the agency’s stakeholders. The realigned office features separate units for dietary supplements, nutrition labeling and program activities, infant formula and medical food, food standards and labeling and analytical and database research. ONPLDS is responsible for developing policy and regulations for dietary supplements, nutrition labeling and food standards, infant formula and medical foods as well as for scientific evaluation to support such regulations and related policy development. ONPLDS staff also support compliance/enforcement actions and will continue to be responsible for the clinical review, data summaries, and, as appropriate, follow-up and research related to adverse events associated with dietary supplements and infant formula.
