Learn More🎨FDA Guidance on Replacing Color Additives in Drug Products
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled "Replacing Color Additives in Approved or Marketed Drug Products." This draft guidance provides recommendations for replacing color additives in approved or marketed drug products. If a color additive is replaced in a drug product, information to support the change should be retained and available at the manufacturing facility. Additionally, this draft guidance recommends that new drug application (NDA) and abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) holders submit information to support color additive replacements in changes being effected in 30 days (CBE-30) supplements. Although a qualitative or quantitative change to an inactive ingredient is generally considered a major change, in many cases, replacing a color additive with one that is listed in the color additive regulations is unlikely to adversely affect the identity, strength, quality, purity, or potency of the drug product. Therefore, this draft guidance recommends a CBE-30 for such a change.
