Citizen Petitions
Requesting Changes at the U.S. FDA
When bringing your product or ingredient to market, it may be necessary, advisable, or strategic from a marketing perspective to make a formal citizen petition to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), requesting them to take (or refrain from taking) an action. Citizen petitions provide opportunities to validate the standard of quality and efficacy of your product, increase consumer confidence, and increase profitability.
Citizen Petition – Dietary Fiber
Petitioning the FDA that a non-digestible carbohydrate ingredient is a dietary fiber through the demonstration of a beneficial physiological effect in a human via clinical trials.
Citizen Petition – Exemption from 100% Identity Testing
Petitioning the FDA to do less than 100% identity testing, showing that such a sampling model of less than 100% testing does not result in a reduction in product quality.
Citizen Petition – Health Claims and Qualified Health Claims
Petitioning the FDA to make an authorized disease claim can provide market distinction from competitor products in the marketplace.
