Good Manufacturing Practice labeling

Methyl salicylate is produced synthetically for commercial purposes by the esterification of salicylic acid with methanol or by extraction by steam distillation of wintergreen leaves or sweet birch bark. The source, natural or synthetic, is declared on the label. The methyl salicylate NF must assay not less than 98.0% and not more than 100.5% and be processed by Good Manufacturing Practice described in USP (20). 

Parts 100 to 169. Food standards, good manufacturing practice for foods, low-acid canned foods, acidified foods, and food labeling. 

Good manufacturing practices (GMPs) ensure that products meet specific quality standards, are not adulterated or misbranded, and contain the correct ingredients and doses stated on the label. GMPs specifically for dietary supplements are being proposed from the FDA. Cases of adulteration have been reported to the FDA, and examples include a plantain product adulterated with digitalis and hibiscus tea adulterated with warfarin [29]. 

Ensure that facilities listed in the new drug applications (NDA) have the capabilities to fulfill the commitments to manufacture, process, control, package, and label a drug product following good manufacturing practices (cGMPs). 

Spice Oleoresins are frequently used in commerce with added suitable food-grade diluents, preservatives, antioxidants, and other substances consistent with good manufacturing practices, as provided for under Added Substances (see General Provisions). When added substances are used, they must be declared on the label in accordance with current U.S. regulations or with the regulations of other countries that recognize the Food Chemicals Codex. 

Oleoresin Capsicum Obtained by the solvent extraction of dried pods of Capsicum frutescens L. or Capsicum annum L. (Fam. Solanaceae) as a clear red to dark red, somewhat viscous liquid of characteristic odor, flavor, and bite. It may be decolorized through good manufacturing practices. It is partly soluble in alcohol (with oily separation and/or sediment) and is soluble in most fixed oils. The bite is usually standardized according to the label declaration. 

Some examples of good manufacturing practices (GMP) requirements specific to packaging and labeling in different countries are as follows ... 

Expiration dating, required on the label of a drug product by good manufacturing practices (GMPs), is arrived at by analysis of data collected on samples...
