The FDA issued warning letters to 14 companies regarding a total of 17 products for which the product labeling identifies DMBA as a dietary ingredient.
The agency considers these products to be adulterated because they are labeled as containing a new dietary ingredient, DMBA, and because they have not satisfied the conditions to include DMBA as a dietary ingredient.
Under existing law, including the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act passed by Congress in 1994, the FDA can take action to remove products from the market, but the agency must first establish that such products are adulterated or misbranded.
The warning letters were sent to the following companies, with the products impacted listed next to them.
