Standardized Information on Dietary Ingredients(SIDI™) A joint trade association initiative to standardize ingredient information exchange SIDI™ ppt V2.0 1-01-08
Presentation Outline • Members of SIIP working group • Current industry practice • Industry challenges to overcome • Goals/advantages of SIDI™ • Planned process/format • Next steps SIDI™ ppt V2.0 1-01-08
Members of the Standardized Information on Dietary Ingredients (SIDI) Working Group SIDI™ ppt V2.0 1-01-08
Current Industry Practice • Manufacturers use individualized product questionnaires because they: • must qualify vendors/suppliers • cannot audit every vendor SIDI™ ppt V2.0 1-01-08
Questionnaire Challenges Industry Must Overcome • Inconsistent and inefficient • Every manufacturer has own individual format • Difficult for vendor to complete quickly/accurately • Questions may not apply to ingredient(s) of concern • Require stamps/signatures: what do these really mean? SIDI™ ppt V2.0 1-01-08
Questionnaire Challenges Industry Must Overcome • Every manufacturer has own individual format • Vendors receive too many questionnaires to complete • Change control practically impossible • Questionnaires often sent to distributors • Most common response: N/A! SIDI™ ppt V2.0 1-01-08
Questionnaire Challenges Industry Must Overcome • Manufacturer sends out and receives back 100 questionnaires of 50+ pages each: • Who reviews all this information? • How much actual information is provided? • How is the information judged, stored, retrieved? • What about change control? SIDI™ ppt V2.0 1-01-08
The Proposed Solution • SIIP working group’s Standardized Information on Dietary Ingredients (SIDI™) Protocol • Provides the basis for suppliers to develop their own dietary ingredient data sheets (DIDS)to be sent to manufactures in lieu of questionnaires • Based on the Excipient Information Protocol (EIP) developed by IPEC SIDI™ ppt V2.0 1-01-08
Primary Goals of the SIDI™ • Enhance information management between dietary ingredient suppliers and dietary supplement manufacturers by providing standards for the exchange of data. • Integrate information on raw dietary ingredient sourcing into a voluntary, standardized system - eliminating the need for a questionnaire SIDI™ ppt V2.0 1-01-08
Ingredient suppliers Manufacturers Optimizing information exchange between ingredient suppliers and manufactures, benefiting industry and consumers
Advantages of Using SIDI™ Protocol • Benefits of standardized ingredient information is INDUSTRY-WIDE: • Dietary supplement manufacturers • Ingredient suppliers • Consumers SIDI™ ppt V2.0 1-01-08
Advantages of using SIDI™ Protocol • Practical and economic advantages • Hidden costs of current industry practice: • Time/potential mistakes/corrections Significant costs and errors from this activity could be eliminated! SIDI™ ppt V2.0 1-01-08
Advantages of using SIDI™ Protocol • For manufacturers: • Consistent information from multiple suppliers and across product lines • Reduction/reallocation of costs/resources • Changecontrol SIDI™ ppt V2.0 1-01-08
Advantages of using SIDI™ Protocol • For manufacturers: • Rapid retrieval/interpretation of information • Information is more accessible to FDA • Facilitates FDA audits (all information is already assembled) • Facilitates merger/acquisition transitions SIDI™ ppt V2.0 1-01-08
Advantages of using SIDI™ Protocol • For ingredient suppliers: • Complete data in standardized format • Reduced completion time • Increased accuracy of information SIDI™ ppt V2.0 1-01-08
Advantages of using SIDI™ Protocol • For ingredient suppliers: • Change control/notification • Liability risk potentially reduced • Potential for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) • Forms can be made available for download SIDI™ ppt V2.0 1-01-08
Advantages of using SIDI™ Protocol • For consumers: • Increased standardization of any process has potential to reduce risk of error • More organized system of vendor qualification could increase safety/quality of products SIDI™ ppt V2.0 1-01-08
SIDI™ Protocol Contents • Scope and purpose of the SIDI™ Protocol • Formatting information • Section-by-section evaluation of the SIDI™ document • Dietary ingredient data sheets (DIDS) • Interactive definitions and glossary SIDI™ ppt V2.0 1-01-08
Highlights of the SIDI™ Protocol • Standardized document with change control, planned updates, and reviews • Broad Scope • developed by members of four industry trade associations with the goal of obtaining industry-wide acceptance • Use is entirely voluntary and is not enforceable • Has been provided to FDA for comment SIDI™ ppt V2.0 1-01-08
SIDI™ Format • 2 separate main sections + glossary • Defines the minimum type and scope of information that should be covered • Information package vs. questionnaire • Format of DIDS is ingredient supplier’s choice • Similar to MSDSs • Minimum topics • Revision history/contact information • Potential for broader usage SIDI™ ppt V2.0 1-01-08
SIDI™ User Guide • SIDI User Guide • Description of SIDI • How to obtain the document • Tips on use and application SIDI™ ppt V2.0 1-01-08
