FDA CTP David Ashley announcement

THE FDA IS COMING YOUR WAY

The FDA is coming your way.

Don't let it take your tobacco business away.

Don't delay, call Lauterbach today.

If you wait, it may be too late.

Lauterbach & Associates, LLC, your source of expertise for dealing with regulatory matters on tobacco and tobacco products.

There is no longer any doubt.  The FDA will be coming to your tobacco plant or other tobacco-related facilities.  It is no longer a question of IF; it is now WHEN.

Unless you or someone in your organization is knowledgeable in FDA regulations, you will likely need help in getting your facilities and operations ready for an FDA inspection.  Indeed, some so-called FDA experts may have contacted you already and have offered their services.  But, which expert or consulting group to use?  They may have a great record on keeping pharmaceutical manufacturers from getting in FDA trouble, but do they know anything about tobacco?  All you know is they want a big fee now.  They may tell you that they do not need to know anything about tobacco to get you through an FDA inspection, but can you rely on that?

If the experts are really looking after your interests, they should not mind if you retain a tobacco expert to help make the decision on what firm you choose to prepare you for an FDA inspection.  Avoid making a costly mistake, call us now at 478-474-8818.

FDA Form 3742 ingredients listing

Guidance for industry - Listing of ingredients in tobacco products

The FDA has changed its deadline on the submission of ingredients listing.  The date has been changed from December 22, 2009 to June 22, 2010.  Take advantage of this borrowed time.  Don't wait until the last minute!  Make use of the extra time given to you.  It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
