Can someone provide me with insight on FSMA & FSVP? My company is a distributor of beta-Alanine and from what I've interpreted from the Regulations, I informed my supplier of beta-Alanine from Japan that they would have to comply with FSMA requirements for a Foreign Supplier Verification Program.
Here's the comment back from the Japanese Supplier:
"Dietary Supplements do not fall under FSMA regulation. However food ingredients used in the production of Dietary Supplements do fall under FSMA. So various foodstuff and food used for dietary supplement fall under
FSMA. B-Alanine is not food itself (except for GRAS approved B-Alanine) and hence we think B-Alanine used for sports nutrition does not fall under FSMA."
Are they correct in this comment?? Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
