Fragrance Creators Association recently welcomed the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) regarding hand sanitizers and Over-The-Counter (OTC) products in a members-only webinar on May 17. The informative session featured Theresa M. Michele, M.D., director, Office of Nonprescription Drugs, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), and Francis Godwin, director, Office of Manufacturing Quality, Office of Compliance, CDER, both of FDA, and was moderated by Darci Ferrer, chief scientist at Fragrance Creators.
According to Farah K. Ahmed, President & CEO, Fragrance Creators Association, "We are deeply grateful to FDA and the team at the Office of Nonprescription Drugs for their leadership and efforts in mitigating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are especially thankful for the Agency's ongoing engagement with Fragrance Creators and our members to advance best practices for public health. On today's webinar, Dr. Michele and Mr. Godwin thoughtfully shared updates and answered questions on temporary guidances and other regulations relevant to the fragrance supply chain.
“Fragrance Creators' members are dedicated, responsible industry stewards and will continue to work with FDA to promote our mutual goal of promoting public health. From the onset of the pandemic, our members acted quickly to adapt production schedules in order to meet the unprecedented demand for critical cleaning and sanitizing products used every day in food processing plants, schools, homes, and more. We remain steadfast in our promise to work collectively with our members, government officials, and all stakeholders to lessen the impacts of COVID-19, as we advocate for sound science-based policies that are good for people, perfume, and the planet."
The association made recent Happi headlines for its industry efforts.
