§5.6 Second Scenario to Overcome Assumption of Adulteration: Pre-market Notification Filing
Manufacturers or distributors of supplements containing new dietary ingredients may choose to overcome the assumption of adulteration by filing a Pre-market Notification. As laid out in the provision, a notification process was created wholecloth ". . . at least 75 days before being introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce, the manufacturer or distributor provides the Secretary with information . . ."76 The procedures for pre-market notification of dietary supplement comprising new dietary ingredients are discussed in Chapter 6. Below is a substantive analysis of the information that should be submitted with the pre-market notification filing.
§5.6.1 ". . . history of use or other evidence . . ."

Regarding "other evidence of safety," the '58 Amendment allowed GRAS status to food additives that were shown to be safe through "scientific procedures."80 As it was Congress' intent that dietary supplements would not be regulated as food additives, and Congress used the phrase "other evidence" as opposed to "scientific procedures," "other evidence" may be any information that shows safety, including but not exclusively scientific procedures.
§5.6.2 ". . . when used under the conditions recommended or suggested in the labeling of the . . . supplement . . ."
An example of "conditions of use" given in the report accompanying S. 784 was "take with meals."81 "Take one tablet three times per day" was given as an example of directions for use.82 It was Congress' stated intent that the labeling possess...
