Major trade organizations in the supplement and functional food industry disagree on major issues, such as a legal path for CBD’s use in foods and beverages and whether a mandatory supplement registry would be beneficial. This diversity of opinion is a good thing, says Daniel Fabricant, Ph.D., CEO and president, Natural Products Association (NPA). Different voices and ideas reflect the growth and diversity of our industry, Fabricant says in this podcast with Sandy Almendarez, content director, Informa Markets.
Fabricant also details NPA’s stance on controversial issues, such as:
Why CBD brands must lead with safety research before their products are deemed legal for use in supplements and foods
Why the industry should push for federal laws for supplements that preempt the states from issuing different—sometimes competing—laws
The articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump and its effects on supplement legislation.
Listen to a similar podcast with Steve Mister, president and CEO, Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN): “Supplement trade associations disagree on hot topics.”
