The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates dietary supplements, requires companies to submit safety data on any new ingredient that was not sold in the United States in a dietary supplement before 1994. Although the label of each dietary supplement must include the contact information of the “responsible person” who is accused of reporting serious adverse effects to CARS (2), by nature, a large part of consumer exposure reports are transmitted through a PCC. When a GRAS notification is submitted, information about the substance is widely available and published, and qualified experts outside the FDA can form the consensus that serves as the basis for determining safety. Circular economy and closed-loop models provide frameworks for companies to increase efficiency and reduce waste through better material management.
