UNPA Commends FDA Actions Against Steroids
The United Natural Products Association (UNPA) commended FDA action to recall five products illegally marketed as sports enhancing dietary supplements. br /br /Loren Israelsen, executive director, UNPA, commented, ldquo;this is a significant step to assure safety in the dietary supplement marketplace, and we commend Commissioner Margaret Hamburg and Deputy Commissioner Joshua Sharfstein for following through on their commitment to steer the agency toward stronger enforcement of the nationrsquo;s dietary supplement laws. br /br /ldquo;It is clear to us that the five products the FDA recallsmdash;Bromodrol, Dual Action Grow Tabs, Grow Tabs, Mass Tabs, and Ripped Tabs TRmdash;have been illegally marketed as dietary supplements, since they contain undeclared steroid substances, which under law are considered to be drugs. The FDArsquo;s action is an essential step in weeding out unscrupulous products from the dietary supplement marketplace, and UNPA pledges to continue working with federal regulators to achieve this mutual consumer safety objective.rdquo; br /br /The United Natural Products Alliance (UNPA) is an association of dietary supplement and functional food companies, both manufacturers and analytical laboratories, that share a commitment to provide consumers with natural health products of superior quality, benefit and reliability.br /br /
