From another company's filing:
GOVERNMENT REGULATION. The manufacturing, processing, formulation, packaging, labeling and advertising of the Company's products are subject to regulation by one or more federal agencies, including the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"), the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the United States Department of Agriculture, the United States Postal Service, the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. These activities are also
regulated by various agencies of the states and localities in which the Company's products are sold. In particular, the FDA regulates the safety, labeling and distribution of dietary supplements, including vitamins, minerals and herbs, food additives, food supplements, OTC and prescription drugs and cosmetics. The regulations that are promulgated by the FDA relating to the manufacturing process are known as Current Good Manufacturing Practices ("CGMPs"), and are

different for drug and food products. In addition, the FTC has overlapping jurisdiction with the FDA to regulate the labeling, promotion and advertising of vitamins, OTC drugs, cosmetics and foods.
The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 ("DSHEA") was enacted on October 25, 1994. DSHEA amends the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act by defining dietary supplements which include vitamins, minerals, nutritional supplements and herbs, as a new category of food separate from conventional food. DSHEA provides a regulatory framework to ensure safe, quality dietary supplements and the dissemination of accurate information about such products.
Under DSHEA, the FDA is generally prohibited from regulating the active ingredients in dietary supplements as drugs unless product claims, such as claims that a product may heal, mitigate, cure or prevent an illness, disease or malady, trigger drug status.
DSHEA provides for specific nutritional labeling requirements for dietary supplements effective January 1, 1997, although final regulations have not been published and implementation will be delayed. DSHEA permits substantiated, truthful and non-misleading statements of nutritional support to be made in labeling, such as statements describing general well-being resulting from
consumption of a dietary ingredient or the role of a nutrient or dietary ingredient in affecting or maintaining a structure or function of the body. The Company anticipates that the FDA will finalize CGMPs which are specific to dietary supplements and require at least some of the quality control provisions contained in the CGMPs for drugs. The Company currently manufactures its vitamins and nutritional supplement products in compliance with the applicable food CGMPs.
The FDA has proposed but not finalized regulations to implement DSHEA, including those relating to nutritional labeling requirements. The Company cannot determine what effect such regulations, when promulgated, will have on its business in the future. Such regulations are likely to require expanded or different labeling for the Company's vitamin and nutritional products and could, among other things, require the recall, reformulation or discontinuance of
certain products, additional record keeping, warnings, notification procedures and expanded documentation of the properties of certain products and scientific substantiation regarding ingredients, product claims, safety or efficacy. Failure to comply with applicable FDA requirements can result in sanctions being imposed on the Company or the manufacturers of its products, including, depending on the product category, warning letters, fines, product recalls and seizures.
Governmental regulations in foreign countries where the Company plans to commence or expand sales may prevent or delay entry into a market or prevent or delay the introduction, or require the reformulation, of certain of the Company's products.
