Regulatory framework

FDA regulates supplements federally under 21 CFR 101.9 and DSHEA. There is no Maine-specific supplement registration filing beyond the federal route. Brand owners, as the label holder, must address their facility on labels. No state-level addenda beyond federal requirements apply. All regulatory compliance is reviewed per project against the Maine framework.
