NEW DIETARY INGREDIENT (NDI) NOTIFICATION SERVICES
A New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) is a dietary ingredient that was not marketed in the United States in a dietary supplement before October 15, 1994. A company must submit and NDI when a dietary supplement contains only dietary ingredients that have been present in the food supply as an article used for food in a form in which the food has not been chemically altered or there is a history of use or other evidence of safety establishing that the dietary ingredient, when used under the conditions recommended or suggested in the labeling of the dietary supplement, will reasonably be expected to be safe and, at least 75 days before being introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce. Unfortunately, many companies who apply for an NDI Notification are rejected by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) due to poor understanding of the notification’s requirements. In the first nine months of the 2017 fiscal year, the FDA objected to almost 88% of NDINs whereas the following year decreased to 56%.
