We also reviewed your social media on Instagram at “vacationinc” which directs consumers to your website to purchase your products.Your “Classic Whip Sunscreens” are “drugs” as defined by section 201(g)(1)(B) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(g)(1)(B), because they are intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, and/or under section 201(g)(1)(C) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(g)(1)(C), because they are intended to affect the structure or any function of the body.Examples from the “Classic Whip Sunscreens” product labeling, including your website and social media page listed above, that provide evidence of the intended uses (as defined in 21 CFR 201.128) of the products as drugs include, but may not be limited to, the following:“Vacation® Classic WHIP BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 30 SUNSCREEN MOUSSE” and “Vacation® Classic WHIP GLOW BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 30 SHIMMER SUNSCREEN MOUSSE”“Uses∙ Helps prevent sunburn ∙ If used as directed with other sun protection measures (seeDirections), decreases the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun.” [from your product labels]“BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 30 SUNSCREEN MOUSSE” [from your product labels]“Vacation® Classic WHIP BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 30 SUNSCREEN MOUSSE”“Classic Whip SPF 30 ‘Dessert For Your Skin’ SPF 30 Sunscreen Mousse…What it is‘lighter-than-air’ sunscreen featuring an authentic ‘tilt valve’ actuator that produces perfect, star-shaped mountains of foam, inspired by everyone’s favorite after dinner indulgence.” [from your product website]“…a decadent dessert for the skin that we like to call Vacation® Classic Whip.

No FDA-approved applications pursuant to section 505 of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355, are in effect for your drug products. Section 505G of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355h, governs the marketing of nonprescription drugs that are marketed without an approved application under section 505 of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355, such as your products. Under section 502(ee) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 352(ee), a nonprescription drug is misbranded if the drug is subject to section 505G of the FD&C Act, but does not comply with the requirements for marketing under that section and is not the subject of an application approved under section 505 of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355.Section 505G of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355h, provides that certain nonprescription drugs are deemed to be generally recognized as safe and effective (GRASE) and not new drugs if they, among other things, conform to the conditions in the applicable OTC monograph. In the case of OTC sunscreen drug products, the applicable OTC monograph is set forth in the final administrative order, OTC000006: Over-the-Counter Monograph M020: Sunscreen Drug Products for Over-the-Counter Human Use (hereinafter M020), which was deemed a final order by 505G(b)(8) and 505G(k)(2)(B).1However, under section 505G(m)(2), “notwithstanding subsection [505G](a),” sunscreens in dosage forms other than oil, lotion, cream, gel, butter, paste, ointment, stick, spray, and powder may only be lawfully marketed, without an application approved under section 505 of the FD&C Act, pursuant to an order issued under section 505G of the FD&C Act.2To date, no final order has been issued by the Secretary under 505G(b) or 505G(c) that would authorize marketing of a sunscreen in foam (aka, mousse or whip) dosage form.3As previously stated, there are no FDA-approved applications in effect for your drug products.Thus, even if your products were in conformity with the conditions set forth in M020 and all other applicable requirements to be deemed GRASE and not new drugs under section 505G(a)(1), they do not comply with the requirements under section 505G. Accordingly, your “Classic Whip Sunscreens” are misbranded under section 502(ee) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 352(ee).Furthermore, your “Classic Whip Sunscreens” are misbranded under Section 502(i)(1) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 352(i)(1), which provides that a drug is misbranded if “its container is so made, formed, or filled as to be misleading,” because they are packaged in containers that resemble food canisters customarily purchased by U.S. consumers. Specifically, your sunscreens are presented in metal canisters with a “authentic ‘tilt valve’ actuator” that outputs a star-shaped foam and have a strong overall resemblance to the metal canisters ordinarily used to package whipped cream products and similar dessert toppings.4Packaging drug products in containers that resemble food containers commonly used by adults and children can mislead consumers into mistaking the products for food, which is of particular concern as this increases the risk of accidental ingestion.The introduction or delivery for introduction of misbranded drugs into interstate commerce violates section 301(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(a).ConclusionThe violations cited in this letter are not intended to be an all-inclusive list of violations that may exist in connection with your products. You are responsible for investigating and determining the causes of any violations and for preventing their recurrence or the occurrence of other violations. It is your responsibility to ensure that your firm complies with all requirements of federal law, including FDA regulations.This letter notifies you of our concerns and provides you an opportunity to address them. Failure to adequately address this matter may result in legal action including, without limitation, seizure, and injunction.Please notify FDA in writing, within 15 working days of receipt of this letter, of the specific steps you have taken to correct any violations. Include an explanation of each step being taken to prevent the recurrence of violations, as well as copies of related documentation. If you believe that your products are not in violation of the FD&C Act, include your reasoning and any supporting information for our consideration. If you cannot complete corrective action within 15 working days, state the reason for the delay and the time within which you will complete the correction. Your response should be sent to U.S. Food and Drug Administration, CDER/OC/Office of Unapproved Drugs and Labeling Compliance by email to FDAAdvisory@fda.hhs.gov and include your firm name and the unique identifier “706039” in the subject line of your email.Sincerely,/S/Tina Smith, M.S.Captain, U.S. Public Health ServiceDirectorOffice of Unapproved Drugs and Labeling ComplianceOffice of ComplianceCenter for Drug Evaluation and ResearchU.S. Food and Drug Administration______________________1See sections 505G(a)(1) and (2) of the FD&C Act and see Order ID OTC000006, available at FDA’s website OTC Monographs@FDA, https://dps.fda.gov/omuf. As required by section 505G(a)(2), M020 encompasses the requirements specified in part 352 of title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, as published on May 21, 1999, beginning on page 27687 of volume 64 of the Federal Register, except that the applicable requirements governing effectiveness and labeling shall be those specified in section 201.327 of title 21, Code of Federal Regulations.2Section 505G(m)(2) provides that “[n]otwithstanding subsection [505G](a),” a drug that, “prior to the date of the enactment of this section [March 27, 2020], the Secretary determined in a proposed or final rule to be ineligible for review under the OTC drug review” (emphasis added) may not be legally marketed without an approved NDA or ANDA except as “pursuant to an order issued under this section”. In a 2019 proposed rule, FDA determined that sunscreens in all dosage forms other than oil, lotion, cream, gel, butter, paste, ointment, stick, spray, and powder were ineligible for review under the OTC Drug Review under the then-operative requirements because we did not receive data showing that they were marketed prior to 1972. 84 FR 6204 at 6229-6230 (Feb. 26, 2019); see also 84 FR 6204 at 6206 and 6272. Therefore, under section 505G(m)(2) of the FD&C Act, a sunscreen in any dosage form other than the ten dosage forms listed above may only be marketed with an approved application, unless FDA determines otherwise in an order issued under section 505G of the FD&C Act. To date, no final order has been issued by the Secretary under 505G(b) or 505G(c) that would authorize marketing of sunscreen in a foam, mousse, or whip dosage form.3Your labeling appears to use these three terms interchangeably to describe your product: the principal display panel, as well as other labeling, refers to each product as “mousse” and “whip”, while other labeling cited above describes each product as a foam. “Foam” is the dosage form term in United States Pharmacopeia (USP) general chapter , Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms, that best corresponds to your product; neither “whip” nor “mousse” are used in that reference.4Your website and social media, including those cited above emphasize the visible similarity between the container for your sunscreens and whipped cream containers. For example, your website states “What it is‘lighter-than-air’ sunscreen featuring an authentic ‘tilt valve’ actuator that produces perfect, star-shaped mountains of foam, inspired by everyone’s favorite after dinner indulgence.” You worked with the original developer of Reddi-wip® to develop your containers. See ClaytonCorp.com (last visited March 7, 2025) (indicating both that “Clayton Corp. created the first aerosol food product with the invention of Reddi-Wip®” and that the “Clayton Corporation recently partnered with the sunscreen brand Vacation® to develop an aerosol solution for their air whipped formula” with a photograph of your Classic Whip SPF 30 Sunscreen container.)

As previously stated, there is no FDA-approved application in effect for your drug product.Thus, even if your product was in conformity with the conditions set forth in M020 and all other applicable requirements to be deemed GRASE and not a new drug under section 505G(a)(1), it does not comply with the requirements under section 505G. Accordingly, your “Kalani sunwear SUN MOUSSE SPF 50” is misbranded under section 502(ee) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 352(ee).The introduction or delivery for introduction of misbranded drugs into interstate commerce violates section 301(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(a).Additionally, the formulation for your “Kalani sunwear SUN MOUSSE SPF 50” does not comply with the conditions specified under M020. Specifically, to conform to the conditions of the monograph, your product must contain at least one of the active ingredients listed in § M020.10. Certain combinations of active ingredients are also permitted, as set out in § M020.20(a). We note that your “Kalani sunwear SUN MOUSSE SPF 50” label does not identify any of the ingredients as active ingredients; however, of your product’s labeled ingredients: “Aqua, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Dibutyl Adipate, Phenethyl benzoate, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Butane, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Trimethylpentanediol/Adipic Acid/Glycerin Crosspolymer, Propane, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Palmitic Acid, lsobutane, Stearic Acid, Silica, Phenoxyethyl Caprylate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sorbitan Laurate, Polyglyceryl-4 Laurate/ Succinate, Triethanolamine, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate” none are permitted active ingredients under M020 when used in combination or as sole ingredients.Therefore, as formulated and labeled, “Kalani sunwear SUN MOUSSE SPF 50” does not comply with the applicable conditions specified in M020 and has not otherwise been found GRASE. Accordingly, “Kalani sunwear SUN MOUSSE SPF 50” is a new drug within the meaning of section 201(p) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(p) and there is no basis under section 505G of the FD&C Act under which this product would be legally marketed without an approved application. Because there is no application in effect for this product, this product is an unapproved new drug.

Images, video, and text regarding your products confirm that each of the products addressed in this letter meets USP’s definition of “foam”—i.e., each appears as a dispersion of gas in a liquid or solid continuous phase wherein the liquid or solid contains the drug substance and suitable excipients.

We also reviewed your social media pages on Instagram at “tizoskin” and Facebook at “Tizo Skin” which directs consumers to your website to purchase your product.Your “TiZO® SHEERFOAM™ SPF 30” is a “drug” as defined by section 201(g)(1)(B) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(g)(1)(B), because it is intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, and/or under section 201(g)(1)(C) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(g)(1)(C), because it is intended to affect the structure or any function of the bodyExamples from the “TiZO® SHEERFOAM™ SPF 30” product labeling, including the most recent labeling submitted to FDA as part of drug listing pursuant to 21 CFR part 207 and your website and social media pages listed above, that provide evidence of the intended uses (as defined in 21 CFR 201.128) of the product as a drug include, but may not be limited to, the following:“UsesHelps prevent sunburn” [from your product label]“TIZO® SheerFoam™ is a patented, mineral sunscreen mousse. This unique formulation offers sheer, weightless protection while providing superb photo-protective performance. This light, foaming sunscreen dries virtually invisible on any complexion.” [from your product website]“Physical broad spectrum protection…” [from your product website]Based on the above labeling, your “TiZO® SHEERFOAM™ SPF 30” is intended for use as an over-the-counter (OTC) sunscreen drug product. No FDA-approved application pursuant to section 505 of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355, is in effect for your drug product. Section 505G of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355h, governs the marketing of nonprescription drugs that are marketed without an approved application under section 505 of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355, such as your product. Under section 502(ee) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 352(ee), a nonprescription drug is misbranded if the drug is subject to section 505G of the FD&C Act, but does not comply with the requirements for marketing under that section and is not the subject of an application approved under section 505 of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355.Section 505G of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355h, provides that certain nonprescription drugs are deemed to be generally recognized as safe and effective (GRASE) and not new drugs if they, among other things, conform to the conditions in the applicable OTC monograph. In the case of OTC sunscreen drug products, the applicable OTC monograph is set forth in the final administrative order, OTC000006: Over-the-Counter Monograph M020: Sunscreen Drug Products for Over-the-Counter Human Use (hereinafter M020), which was deemed a final order by 505G(b)(8) and 505G(k)(2)(B).1 However, under section 505G(m)(2), “notwithstanding subsection [505G](a),” sunscreens in dosage forms other than oil, lotion, cream, gel, butter, paste, ointment, stick, spray, and powder may only be lawfully marketed, without an application approved under section 505 of the FD&C Act, pursuant to an order issued under section 505G of the FD&C Act.2 To date, no final order has been issued by the Secretary under 505G(b) or 505G(c) that would authorize marketing of a sunscreen in foam (aka mousse) dosage form.3 As previously stated, there is no FDA-approved application in effect for your drug product.Thus, even if your product was in conformity with the conditions set forth in M020 and all other applicable requirements to be deemed GRASE and not a new drug under section 505G(a)(1), it does not comply with the requirements under section 505G. Accordingly, your “TiZO® SHEERFOAM™ SPF 30” is misbranded under section 502(ee) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 352(ee).The introduction or delivery for introduction of misbranded drugs into interstate commerce violates section 301(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(a).ConclusionThe violations cited in this letter are not intended to be an all-inclusive list of violations that may exist in connection with your products. You are responsible for investigating and determining the causes of any violations and for preventing their recurrence or the occurrence of other violations. It is your responsibility to ensure that your firm complies with all requirements of federal law, including FDA regulations.This letter notifies you of our concerns and provides you an opportunity to address them. Failure to adequately address this matter may result in legal action including, without limitation, seizure, and injunction.Please notify FDA in writing, within 15 working days of receipt of this letter, of the specific steps you have taken to correct any violations. Include an explanation of each step being taken to prevent the recurrence of violations, as well as copies of related documentation. If you believe that your products are not in violation of the FD&C Act, include your reasoning and any supporting information for our consideration. If you cannot complete corrective action within 15 working days, state the reason for the delay and the time within which you will complete the correction. Your response should be sent to U.S. Food and Drug Administration, CDER/OC/Office of Unapproved Drugs and Labeling Compliance by email to FDAAdvisory@fda.hhs.gov and include your firm name and the unique identifier “711006” in the subject line of your email.Sincerely,/S/Tina Smith, M.S.Captain, U.S. Public Health ServiceDirectorOffice of Unapproved Drugs and Labeling ComplianceOffice of ComplianceCenter for Drug Evaluation and ResearchU.S. Food and Drug Administration________________________1See sections 505G(a)(1) and (2) of the FD&C Act and see Order ID OTC000006, available at FDA’s website OTC Monographs@FDA, https://dps.fda.gov/omuf. As required by section 505G(a)(2), M020 encompasses the requirements specified in part 352 of title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, as published on May 21, 1999, beginning on page 27687 of volume 64 of the Federal Register, except that the applicable requirements governing effectiveness and labeling shall be those specified in section 201.327 of title 21, Code of Federal Regulations.2Section 505G(m)(2) provides that “[n]otwithstanding subsection [505G](a),” a drug that, “prior to the date of the enactment of this section [March 27, 2020], the Secretary determined in a proposed or final rule to be ineligible for review under the OTC drug review” (emphasis added) may not be legally marketed without an approved NDA or ANDA except as “pursuant to an order issued under this section”. In a 2019 proposed rule, FDA determined that sunscreens in all dosage forms other than oil, lotion, cream, gel, butter, paste, ointment, stick, spray, and powder were ineligible for review under the OTC Drug Review under the then-operative requirements because we did not receive data showing that they were marketed prior to 1972. 84 FR 6204 at 6229-6230 (Feb. 26, 2019); see also 84 FR 6204 at 6206 and 6272. Therefore, under section 505G(m)(2) of the FD&C Act, a sunscreen in any dosage form other than the ten dosage forms listed above may only be marketed with an approved application, unless FDA determines otherwise in an order issued under section 505G of the FD&C Act. To date, no final order has been issued by the Secretary under 505G(b) or 505G(c) that would authorize marketing of sunscreen in a foam or mousse dosage form.3Your labeling appears to use these two terms interchangeably to describe your product: the principal display panel, as well as other labeling, appears refers to the product as a “foam” and “mousse.” “Foam” is the dosage form term in United States Pharmacopeia (USP) general chapter , Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms, that best corresponds to your product; “mousse” is not used in that reference.

See Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), parts 210 and 211 (21 CFR parts 210 and 211).Because your methods, facilities, or controls for manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding do not conform to CGMP, your drug products are adulterated within the meaning of section 501(a)(2)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), 21 U.S.C. 351(a)(2)(B).We have not received a response from your firm stating the actions you are taking to address the deficiencies identified during the inspection and cited on our Form FDA 483. At the end of the inspection, your firm notified the Agency that you do not intend to manufacture OTC drug products and have discontinued your FDA drug registration.During our inspection, our investigator observed specific violations including, but not limited to, the following.1. Your firm’s quality control unit failed to exercise its responsibility to ensure drug products manufactured are in compliance with CGMP, and meet established specifications for identity, strength, quality, and purity (21 CFR 211.22).Your firm failed to establish an adequate quality unit (QU) with the responsibilities and authority to oversee the manufacturing of drug products. For example, your QU failed to ensure:Adequate testing of your finished drug products, prior to release and distribution (21 CFR 211.165 (a) and (b)).Establishment of an adequate, ongoing stability program (21 CFR 211.166(a)).Adequate batch production and control records that include complete documentation of the accomplishment of each significant step in the manufacture, processing, packing, or holding of the batch, for each batch of drug product (21 CFR 211.188).Your firm’s quality systems are inadequate. See FDA’s guidance documentQuality Systems Approach to Pharmaceutical CGMP Regulationsfor help implementing quality systems and risk management approaches to meet the requirements of CGMP regulations 21 CFR, parts 210 and 211 at https://www.fda.gov/media/71023/download.In response to this letter, provide:A comprehensive assessment and remediation plan to ensure your QU is given the authority and resources to effectively function. The assessment should also include, but not be limited to:o A determination of whether procedures used by your firm are robust and appropriate.o Provisions for QU oversight throughout your operations to evaluate adherence to appropriate practices.o A complete and final review of each batch and its related information before the QU disposition decision.o Oversight and approval of investigations and discharging of all other QU duties to ensure identity, strength, quality, and purity of all products.A comprehensive independent assessment of your laboratory practices, procedures, methods, equipment, documentation, and analyst competencies. Based on this review, provide a detailed plan to remediate and evaluate the effectiveness of your laboratory system.A list of chemical and microbial specifications, including test methods, used to analyze each batch of your drug products before a batch disposition decision.o An action plan and timelines for conducting full chemical and microbiological testing of retain samples to determine the quality of all batches of drug product distributed to the United States that are within expiry as of the date of this letter.o A summary of all results obtained from testing retain samples from each batch. If such testing reveals substandard quality drug products, take rapid corrective actions, such as notifying customers and product recalls.A comprehensive, independent assessment and corrective action and preventive action (CAPA) plan to ensure the adequacy of your stability program. Your remediated program should include, but not be limited to:o Stability indicating methods.o Stability studies for each drug product in its marketed container-closure system before distribution is permitted.o An ongoing program in which representative batches of each product are added each year to the program to determine if the shelf-life claim remains valid.o Detailed definition of the specific attributes to be tested at each station (timepoint).o All procedures that describe these and other elements of your remediated stability program.A complete assessment of documentation systems used throughout your manufacturing and laboratory operations to determine where documentation practices are insufficient. Include a detailed CAPA plan that comprehensively remediates your firm’s documentation practices to ensure you retain attributable, legible, complete, original, accurate, contemporaneous records throughout your operation.Your master production and control records for your drug products, to demonstrate that they fully document each significant and validated manufacturing step.2. Your firm failed to conduct at least one test to verify the identity of each component of a drug product. Your firm also failed to validate and establish the reliability of your component supplier’s test analyses at appropriate intervals (21 CFR 211.84(d)(1) and 211.84(d)(2)).You manufacture over-the-counter (OTC) drug products. Your firm failed to test incoming components used in manufacturing your finished OTC drug products to determine identity, purity, strength, and quality. Additionally, your firm did not establish a vendor qualification program for your raw material suppliers.Your firm used results from your suppliers’ certificates of analysis (COAs) without establishing the reliability of your suppliers’ analyses through appropriate validation and without conducting at least one specific identity test on each incoming lot of components. You can not rely on your suppliers’ COA to verify the identity of your components.The use of ingredients contaminated with diethylene glycol (DEG) or ethylene glycol (EG) has resulted in various lethal poisoning incidents in humans worldwide. See FDA’s guidance document Testing of Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Maltitol Solution, Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate, Sorbitol Solution, and Other High-Risk Drug Components for Diethylene Glycol and Ethylene Glycol to help you meet the CGMP requirements when manufacturing drugs containing ingredients at high-risk for DEG or EG contamination at https://www.fda.gov/media/167974/download.In response to this letter, provide:A comprehensive independent review of your material system to determine whether all suppliers of components, containers, and closures, are each qualified and the materials are assigned appropriate expiration or retest dates. The review should also determine whether incoming material controls are adequate to prevent use of unsuitable components, containers, and closures.The chemical and microbiological quality control specifications you use to test and release each incoming lot of components for use in manufacturing.A description of how you will test each component lot for conformity with all appropriate specifications for identity, strength, quality, and purity. If you intend to accept any results from your supplier’s COA instead of testing each component lot for strength, quality, and purity, specify how you will robustly establish the reliability of your supplier’s results through initial validation as well as periodic re-validation. In addition, include a commitment to always conduct at least one specific identity test for each incoming component lot. In the case of glycerin, propylene glycol, and certain additional high-risk components we note that this includes the performance of parts A, B, and C of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) monograph.A summary of results obtained from testing all components to evaluate the reliability of the COA from each component manufacturer. Include your standard operating procedure that describes this COA validation program.A summary of your program for qualifying and overseeing contract facilities that test the components you use to manufacture drug products.A commitment to provide DEG and EG test results, no later than 30 calendar days from the date of this letter, from testing retains for all lots of high-risk drug components used in the manufacture of drug products. Alternatively, if a retain of a component lot is unavailable, perform retain sample testing of all implicated finished drug product batches for the presence of DEG and EG.A full risk assessment for drug products that are within expiry which contain any ingredient at risk for DEG or EG contamination (including, but not limited to, glycerin). Take prompt and appropriate actions to determine the safety of all lots of the component(s) and any related drug product that could contain DEG or EG, including customer notifications and product recalls for any contaminated lots. Identify additional appropriate CAPAs that secure supply chains in the future, including, but not limited to, ensuring that all incoming raw material lots are from fully qualified manufacturers and free from unsafe impurities. Detail these actions in your response to this letter.The chemical quality control specifications you use to test each incoming lot of high-risk drug components to determine acceptability for use in manufacturing.A comprehensive, independent review of your material system to determine whether all suppliers of components, containers, and closures, are each qualified and the materials are assigned appropriate expiration or retest dates. The review should also determine whether incoming material controls are adequate to prevent use of unsuitable components, containers, and closures.Drug Production CeasedWe acknowledge your commitment to cease production of all OTC drugs at this facility. In response to this letter, clarify whether you intend to resume manufacturing any drugs at this facility in the future.If you plan to resume any manufacturing operations regulated under the FD&C Act, notify this office before resuming your drug manufacturing operations. You are responsible for resolving all deficiencies and systemic flaws to ensure your firm is capable of ongoing CGMP compliance. In your notification to the Agency, provide a summary of your remediations to demonstrate that you have appropriately completed all CAPAs.CGMP Consultant RecommendedBased upon the nature of the violations we identified at your firm, you should engage a consultant qualified as set forth in 21 CFR 211.34 to evaluate your operations and to assist your firm in meeting CGMP requirements if your firm intends to continue manufacturing and shipping drugs for the U.S. market. The qualified consultant should also perform a comprehensive six-system audit of your entire operation for CGMP compliance and evaluate the completion and efficacy of your CAPA before you pursue resolution of your firm’s compliance status with FDA.Your use of a consultant does not relieve your firm’s obligation to comply with CGMP. Your firm’s executive management remains responsible for resolving all deficiencies and systemic flaws to ensure ongoing CGMP compliance.ConclusionThe violations cited in this letter are not intended to be an all-inclusive list of violations that exist at your facility. You are responsible for investigating and determining the causes of any violations and for preventing their recurrence or the occurrence of other violations.Correct any violations promptly. Failure to promptly and adequately address this matter may result in regulatory or legal action without further notice including, without limitation, seizure and injunction. Unresolved violations may also prevent other Federal agencies from awarding contracts.Failure to address violations may also cause FDA to withhold issuance of Export Certificates. FDA may withhold approval of new applications or supplements listing your firm as a drug manufacturer until any violations are completely addressed and we confirm your compliance with CGMP. We may re-inspect to verify that you have completed corrective actions to address any violations.This letter notifies you of our findings and provides you an opportunity to address the above deficiencies. After you receive this letter, respond to this office in writing within 15 working days. Specify what you have done to address any violations and to prevent their recurrence. In response to this letter, you may provide additional information for our consideration as we continue to assess your activities and practices. If you cannot complete corrective actions within 15 working days, state your reasons for delay and your schedule for completion.Send your electronic reply to CDER-OC-OMQ-Communications@fda.hhs.gov.
