📢 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁 - 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 It can be a minefield determining what ingredients you can and cannot legally add to food products in Australia and New Zealand. The regulations are complex. Unlike medicines where there is a list of permitted ingredients; there is no such list for foods. Rather there are several different appendices to the Foods Standards Code which stipulate nutrients and additives that can be used in specific types of foods, based on the particular standard they fall under. This NEW 2 hour course has been developed in conjunction with Gary Kennedy and Lisa Owens from Correct Food Systems to help brands navigate the complex food ingredient regulations. Agenda includes: 🥃 Banned or prohibited ingredients 🥃 Restricted contaminants 🥃 Specific food & ingredients 🥃 Novel Foods 🥃 Types of ingredients 🥃 Macro nutrients 🥃 Micronutrients – vitamins & minerals 🥃 Food additives 🥃 Processing aids 🥃 Common issues 🥃 Navigating the Food Standards Code Read more and book online today using the link below! https://lnkd.in/gSg4M9XP #regulatoryaffairs #nutraceuticals #food #training

Training on Medicine Safety - Pharmacovigilance Obligations 🌿 The TGA has just published a safety alert regarding potential of Andrographis paniculata to cause severe allergic reactions including anaphylaxis. https://lnkd.in/gx7pS52Y 🍄 FSANZ published a national recall notice and public health warning for mushroom gummies containing unapproved novel ingredients (lions mane and cordyceps mushrooms extracts). Several people were hospitalised across the country according to an ABC news article. https://lnkd.in/gAiSzPcE https://lnkd.in/g6Y5-9Qr For brands, these recent cases are a reminder that you are legally obliged to have a PV system in place that is regularly maintained. Sponsors must report all serious adverse events and significant safety issues to the TGA within the required timeframes. Our training course - Pharmacovigilance obligations - is designed to take the guess work out of this complex area. The course comes with a complete set of SOPs and forms that together provide a complete PV system. These can be adopted by your business to ensure you meet your pharmacovigilance obligations and protect the health and safety of your customers. The course has been written by experts that have been involved in TGA audits and act on behalf of sponsors as their Qualified Person for Pharmacovigilance in Australia (QPPVA). If you don’t have a PV system in place or want to verify your existing system, this course is a must!

Finding evidence to support your product claims - a lovely testimonial for our course. Although this course is designed to comply with Australian TGA regulations for complementary medicines it would be equally of benefit to companies in other countries who sell “dietary supplements”. (Back in March the TGA fined a company $82,500 for failing to hold evidence for their product claims). "I recently completed the TGA Evidence Requirements Course offered by RTD and it exceeded my expectations in every way. The course content was thorough, up-to-date, and presented in a highly engaging and informative manner. Abbie is incredibly knowledgeable and made herself available to answer questions, providing real-world examples that made such a complex topic, easy to understand. While I already had a strong regulatory background, this course significantly enhanced my understanding of TGA evidence requirements. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to deepen their knowledge and expertise in TGA evidence requirements."

New Course: New substance applications. In Australia, there is a list of pre-approved ingredients, both active and non-active, that can be used in listed complementary medicines. You can view the list here: https://lnkd.in/gFrn_WgT To have a “new” ingredient added to this list requires a comprehensive application which can take up to a year to be processed by the TGA. The most critical aspects of the application are quality and safety. If the application is successful then it can be used by any company in their products, although there is a 2-year exclusivity period for the applicant and anyone they nominate. This course would be of great benefit to a supplier of an ingredient that is not currently permitted in listed medicines. We are lucky to have Australia’s foremost expert, Mary Nteris, PhD present this 1.5 hour course.
