Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is releasing a new Dietary Supplement Ingredient catalog for the public to look up ingredients used in products marketed as dietary supplements and quickly find the FDA's opinion on the ingredient and whether the agency has taken any action on the ingredient. The directory is in list form and includes links to the agency's actions and correspondence for each component on the list. If there is a separate FDA web page for ingredients, the catalog links to that page. The catalog is intended to be a one-stop shop for ingredient information, which was previously found on different FDA web pages. This catalog is designed to help manufacturers, retailers, and consumers understand the ingredients that may be found in products marketed as dietary supplements and quickly find information about these ingredients on the FDA website.

It is important to note that the catalog is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all ingredients used in products marketed as dietary supplements, and may not include all actions taken by the IAEA regarding a particular ingredient. For example, if the Agency has taken many similar actions, and some earlier actions may not be included, especially if they do not reflect the current situation of the Agency, then all actions may not be included in the list. The Forestry Development Authority will update the catalogue regularly to reflect new developments.
