Views from industry leaders and experts on the biggest trends, challenges and opportunities facing consumer health in the new year.
FDA’s drug center has all but stopped holding meetings at this point, which begs the question: why do they want advice on how to make them better?
FDA seeks feedback at 13 June virtual hearing on three general topics related to advisory committees: panel composition, barriers to service for Special Government Employees, and public perception and understanding of the process.
CBD products produced by Chanelle McCoy Health and Cannaray have been given the green light by the Food Standards Agency's Advisory Committee on Novel Foods and Processes allowing them to progress to the final stages of the regulator's lengthy approval process. Meanwhile, the Home Office has changed its policy with regards to THC in CBD, in response to an action brought against it by Jersey Hemp, clearing another barrier to making the UK market compliant.
The regulation “is clear, as is the Court’s order” rejecting CRN’s motion for preliminary injunction against imposition of the regulation, says US district Judge Andrew Carter in order denying the trade group’s request for clarification of New York regulation.
The Estee Lauder Companies’ expanding use of artificial intelligence includes an internal-facing generative AI chatbot to help users “efficiently navigate and further leverage ELC's proprietary and extensive database of product and claim data.” Meanwhile, Prose Beauty is leveraging AI to market personalized skin and hair products at scale, and Vagaro to provide salons and spas with “instantly crafting polished communications, such as service and policy descriptions, effective marketing messaging, and more.”
US FDA Commissioner Robert Califf tells Congress that regulators don’t have to know how artificial intelligence works in medicine, but must make very sure it actually does work.
CRN’s request for clarification, as it continues litigating complaint in US District Court for Southern New York, highlights what it contends is vague and overly general language in the legislation passed in October with a 22 April effective date.
Firm operating in London, India and United Arab Emirates says its “Ultra Factory” will open in Indiana within the next six months with end-to-end production based on its operational facility in India.
London-based Unilever is resetting targets including virgin plastic reductions and increases in packaging that is recyclable, reusable or compostable. Based on a report last year from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation on industry progress against goals to reduce plastic waste, Unilever will not be alone in having to recalibrate.
Thousands of companies operating within the EU will soon be required to identify across their whole supply chain any adverse impact on the environment and human rights. Failure to do so could mean fines of up to 5% of worldwide net sales.
Companies considered producers of single-use packaging in Oregon, Colorado and California must register with Circular Action Alliance, the leading (and currently only) producer responsibility organization, by 1 July 2024 under new state recycling laws.
There’s no simple answer to the question of how to make medicines packaging sustainable, says international recycling consultancy and Veolia Group subsidiary Circpack. “Manufacturers need to assess what works best for them, and recyclers will do the same,” Circpack analyst and circular packaging expert Filipe Vieira de Castro tells HBW Insight in this exclusive Q&A. “The best thing we can all do is put effort into finding common ground between systems, which comes down to better understanding the complexities between them.”

“Consumers are rewriting the rules when it comes to where they are going for information and the type of information they are looking for,” reports Kaizo’s Anita Nahal, speaking to HBW Insight’s Over the Counter podcast about the agency’s latest Communicating Health Messages report. Trust in social media has increased, and personal beliefs and lived experiences are playing a larger role in shaping attitudes to health information, explains Nahal, who is director at the London-based PR agency. However, consumers are also continuing to “tune-out” from health messages and be less critical of sources. To help consumers navigate this new reality, consumer health companies need to adapt, rethink and reset their communication strategies, Nahal advises.
