""This book may therefore become a useful tool to further the implementation of more “modern” approaches towards product safety and quality and to actually help transitioning dietary supplements to become food also in real life and not only from a regulatory stand point."" —Elena Vittadini, International Journal of Food Science and Nutrition ""Bill Mead’s primer Dietary Supplement Good Manufacturing Practices – Preparing for Compliance, should be required reading for every quality control department in the supplement industry. The book dissects and digests the FDA’s lengthy regulations and preamble, making the minutiae of a very complicated rulemaking understandable so the requirements can actually be implemented. Bill Mead offers not only ""what"" the rule requires but ""how"" to comply, and ""why"" each topic is critical to pass your next inspection. Conscientious firms will want to read cover to cover before the FDA inspector knocks on the door."" —Steve Mister, President & CEO, Council for Responsible Nutrition
