What is a Supplements Regulatory Guide (SRG)?

Learn about the Supplements Regulatory Guide (SRG)

A Supplements Regulatory Guide (SRG) serves as a valuable resource for the food/ dietary supplement industry, enabling manufacturers and other stakeholders to navigate the regulatory landscape, meet legal requirements, and ensure the safety and integrity of supplement products. 

Just like our Food Regulatory Guide (FRG), the specific contents and structure of a supplement regulatory guide may vary depending on the country or region it pertains to, as regulations and requirements can differ. However, this guide typically covers several key aspects, including:

  1. Definition and classification of food/ dietary supplements
  2. Ingredient requirements
  3. Labeling and claims
  4. Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs)
  5. Safety and adverse event reporting
  6. Testing and quality assurance
  7. Notification/ registration procedure
  8. Import and export regulations
  9.  Enforcement and penalties
