In Collaboration with the

ACI and CRN are so excited to welcome you back to New York for the “return to live” reunion that the dietary supplement industry has been waiting for.

ith the dietary supplement industry currently witnessing unprecedented growth, it is imperative that we understand how the changing legal and regulatory landscape will impact industry policies and practices for the remainder of 2022 and the future.

At this year’s conference, we will explore the latest FDA priorities for dietary supplements under new Commissioner, Dr. Robert Califf and we are delighted that Dr. Cara Welch, the newly appointed permanent director of FDA’s ODSP will be our Keynote. We will examine new strategies that companies can employ to avoid drug preclusion when developing and introducing new ingredients. We will also examine pending legislation supporting mandatory product listings and approaches to making harmonized product testing a reality. We will explore new concerns and interests related to botanicals, tactics for substantiating health and immunity product claims, and effective approaches for addressing supply chain disruption and ingredient shortages. We will also be taking a closer look at the latest trends in state activity impacting the industry, including age restriction legislation for access to certain supplement products. We will examine offensive tactics and novel defenses that supplement manufactures can employ in defending class actions. Finally, we will look at the concept of “the New Enforcers” and explore how the industry, plaintiff’s bar, and consumer protection groups are taking on the yoke of the regulators. Do not miss the chance to reunite with your industry peers and engage in meaningful discussion about the most pressing concerns facing supplement companies today as well as the impact the latest developments will have on your business. We look forward to seeing you in New York this June!

Harry Rice, V.P., Regulatory & Scientific Affairs, Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3s (GOED) Moderator: Michelle Stout, Regulatory Policy Director, Amway, Chair, IADSA In today’s global marketplace, it is imperative that dietary supplement manufacturers have at the very minimum, a working knowledge of product commercialization in international markets. Supplement manufacturers must develop strategies which are internationally compliant, but also have commercial appeal for both developed and emerging foreign markets. Workshop leaders will help you with the challenges that global commercialization presents and provide solutions for success. Points of discussion will include:

The Practicalities and Details for Entering Foreign Markets – Established and Developing • Detailed discussions around key markets, such as China, the European Union, and the UK » Foreign laws and regulations governing dietary supplements » Evaluating a regulatory pathway for dietary supplement product entry » Identifying foreign approvals and registration processes » Preparing for premarket approval and notification systems

Current Factors Impacting Import – Focus on China and Europe • Analyzing ground-breaking challenges in China related to the General Administration of Customs China (GACC) regulations » What the regulations mean and why they were developed? » How are U.S. regulators trying to bring clarity to U.S. companies? » What solutions can a U.S. company explore for compliance? » Where are the regulations still ambiguous? • Spotlight on the European Union » Animal Product Certifications in the EU What products and ingredients are impacted? For example, popular ingredients like Vitamin D could be affected – what can companies do to comply? Discussion around significant changes to requirements affecting exemptions » EU and Risk Assessments How are EU countries approaching risk assessments of ingredients? Exploration of examples of shifting risk assessment paradigm, such as EU’s approach to titanium dioxide • Other Significant Actions Affecting Foreign Commerce » Discussion of the decision by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Seafood Inspection Program (SIP) to discontinue export certifications for fishery product oil supplements » Hear from the Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3s (GOED) on the impact on fishery product oil supplement exportation and possible pathways forward

Eric Unis, Senior Attorney, National Advertising Division, (NAD)® – BBB National Programs, Inc. Ensuring proper claims substantiation for a dietary supplement product is often a complex, fact-specific process. Even with substantial, welldesigned, studies, claims and their support may still draw scrutiny from regulators and increasingly, plaintiff’s attorneys. If that were not, enough, the changing nature of advertising to use more non-traditional marketing, such as influencers, endorsements, and consumer reviews, and emerging social media platforms, presents new challenges for ensuring claims are communicated in a manner that the substantiation supports. In this working group, we will take a closer look at the use of influencers, consumer reviews, and new forms of social media used to promote products—all with the goal of determining how to compliantly promote your products, stay out of trouble, and win consumer confidence. Points of discussion, include: • Exploring how COVID-19 has changed claims substantiation for dietary supplements and understanding how this impacts direct and implied claims through various social media platforms • Predicting how anticipated updates to FTC advertising guidelines (e.g., environmental, endorsements/testimonials) will impact the supplement industry • Determining the scientific evidence necessary to meet FTC claim substantiation standards • Examining the role of claims’ language, disclosures, and images in advertising on class action risk and how a claim should be substantiated to reduce class action risk • Taking a closer look at how the FTC and FDA view product claims made via social media and influencers • Exploring recent FTC enforcement activity in the dietary industry space regarding false and misleading social media claims and endorsements » Understanding the significance of this activity in view of the landmark Supreme Court case AMG Capital Management, which significantly limited the FTC’s ability to collect monetary penalties for deceptive advertising • Examining how regulatory guidance and enforcement activity impacts the influencers and advertisers on newer social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram stories, Snapchat, etc. • Developing best practices relative to: » Consumer endorsements and consumer reviews » Expert, celebrity, and influencer endorsements » Reviews on third-party websites » Repurposed reviews » Disclosures of material connections to the brand or seller of the advertised product • Preventing rogue influencers from touting unsubstantiated claims • Implementing safeguards to ensure that influencer campaigns do not create legal liabilities for your company
