CRN’s Mister talks mandatory product listing, NAC, more
“Whatever mandatory product listing looks like, it should be a birth certificate and not a driver’s license,” explained CRN President & CEO Steve Mister in a recent interview with NutraIngredients-USA. Mister noted that while a registry should provide FDA with a clearer picture of the industry, it should not slow a product’s entry to market.

Mister also touched on N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), emphasizing, “This is not a safety conversation,…this is essentially an economics conversation” based on DSHEA’s drug preclusion provision. CRN filed a citizen petition in June requesting that FDA reverse its position that NAC is not a legal dietary ingredient and awaits FDA’s response. Learn more here.
On the topic of NDI notifications for CBD and other cannabinoids, Mister said, “When we look back at those two objection letters from the earlier CBD submissions, it sure seems like FDA is moving the goalposts on how much safety data is enough to satisfy the agency.”
