FDA questions: supplements, cosmetics and device listings
Resolve common document misunderstandings using the actual claims and product category.
Applicable route
Does a food registration number make a supplement FDA approved? No. FDA does not approve dietary supplements for safety and effectiveness before sale; other safety, ingredient and labeling duties still apply. Identify the actual composition and claims rather than assuming ordinary-food paperwork resolves every supplement requirement.
Records and action
Does cosmetic listing approve a cream? No. Check whether the claims or intended use bring another regulatory branch into scope. Does device listing replace a required premarket decision? No. Registration, listing, clearance and approval describe different records and must be checked separately.
Example and boundaries
Example: an online seller asks for a cosmetic exemption letter from FDA. FDA's September 2026 clarification says it does not issue such verification documents. Document the actual exemption analysis and discuss the platform's evidence request without fabricating a government letter. Kayra can explain the gap, not invent agency proof.
