In November, 2020, Amazon USA notified sellers of their new policy and process for increasing quality standards of Food Supplements sold on their platform. The compliance deadlinse was May 31st, 2021.  With approximately 80% of DS sales transacting through Amazon, new requirements come in response to growing demand  for the company to exercise greater oversight and ensure that dietary supplements sold on their platform are safe for human consumption and not mislabeled, illegal, misbranded, or adulterated.

Going forward, all DS sellers must comply fully with FDA requirements and also prove that all active ingredients be quantified against their stated label amounts.   There are three primary foci:

• 21 CFR 101.36:  Labeling
• 21 CFR 111: Good manufacturing Practices
• 21 CFR 117: Safe for Human Consumption 

Most of the requirements are not particularly onerous.  However, there are several requirements that can be challenging for sellers.  For example,  required analytical documentation, including a Certificate of Analysis,  must come from an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory (including internal labs),  all active ingredients must test to their stated amounts at the minimum, all labels must conform to FDA Dietary Supplement labeling requirements, and compliance records on safety and quality of products must be maintained.
