Submitting a New Dietary Ingredient Notification Electronically
After you have logged in to the FDA Industry Systems (FIS) website, choose the link "New Dietary
Ingredient" from the list of systems available on the FDA’s Unified Registration Listing System (FURLS)
home page. This will take you to the webpage “NDI Home Main Menu” with the banner “75 DAY
PREMARKET NEW DIETARY INGREDIENT (NDI) NOTIFICATION” (Figure 1). Each screen in the NDI
electronic submission process has this banner.
At the top right of each page are the links “FURLS Home”, which will take you to the FIS/FURLS home
page, and "NDI Home," which will take you to the NDI Home Main Menu (Figure 1). Choose the link
“FURLS Home” to log out.
To submit a notification for a new dietary ingredient, select the link “Enter New Notification” from the
page “NDI Home Main Menu” (Figure 1).

The screens you will see throughout the NDI online notification process will have the following features:
At the top of every screen is a status bar that will track your progress through each step of the process (for
example, see Figure 2). A "Get Help" link above the menu bar on the right side of the page will provide
page-specific help. For an overview of all the help files available, see the FDA Industry Systems Index of
Help Pages available separately through the “Get Help” link.
In addition, at the bottom of each screen you will see 1, 2 or 3 navigation buttons, depending on the
step in the online notification process (for example, see the bottom of Figure 2). In steps 2 to 5 and step
7, the button on the far left at the bottom of the page labeled “Previous” will take you back one step in
the process to the previous section of the notification. Please note that unsaved information entered
on the form is lost if you press the “Previous” button. In steps 1 to 3, step 6 and step 7, the button
labeled “Save and Exit” on the bottom right saves the data you have entered as a draft, and takes you to
an exit confirmation screen that will provide you with a draft reference ID and a deadline to submit the draft
notification. In steps 1 to 4 and step 6, the button on the bottom right labeled “Next” takes you to the
next screen for entering notification data. In step 5, the button labeled “Save and Upload” on the
bottom far right saves a draft of the notification and navigates away from the electronic submission
portal to the screen called “NDI Document Upload”. After you have uploaded your supporting
documents, you must go back to the NDI Home main menu to retrieve the draft notification and
continue from step 6 to the end to complete and submit the notification. In the last step (step 7), the
button labeled “Submit” on the bottom far right submits the notification to the FDA.

Section 1 – Submitter, Notification Owner, and Contact Information
Fields marked with an asterisk (*) in the instructions must be completed to proceed to the next screen. If
any of the required fields are not completed, you will be prompted to enter the missing information
before proceeding to the next screen. If all of the required fields are completed with appropriate data,
the notification will be in compliance with the NDIN regulation, 21 CFR 190.6. If these fields are not filled
in as required, the primary contact designated in the notification will receive an incomplete response
letter from FDA.
Section 1 contains buttons specific to this section. The “Auto fill from Account Information” button on the
far right in the middle of the screen automatically fills the contact fields with relevant information from
your FURLS account (see Figure 4, top right). You will be able to edit the contact fields as necessary. The
button on the right just above the bottom of the screen is labeled “Add Contact”, which stores the contact
information just entered in the “Contact List” table that is located below the instructions on the screen
and above the contact fields (see Figure 3 for the location of the “Contact List” table). The “Clear” button
on the right just above the bottom of the screen clears the contact information entered into the fields
without storing the information in the “Contact List” table (see Figure 4).

Section 4 –Safety Information Attachment
In this section, you will download and fill in a safety information template describing the scientific
information on which you base your conclusion that the dietary supplement(s) containing the NDI will
reasonably be expected to be safe. Safety information means, among other things, information showing
that the NDI is identical or related to substances documented as having a history of use as food and/or to
test articles used in safety studies. In addition, safety information means documentation of history of use
as food, and the results of safety studies, including genetic toxicology studies, pharmacokinetic studies,
animal toxicology studies and human clinical studies. The template asks for details about the identity of
the NDI, verification of that identity, information about history of use as food, and/or other evidence
relevant to the safety of the NDI and the dietary supplement. The template also asks for reprints or
photostatic copies of all cited studies. After filling in the template, you will attach the completed safety
information template file and files containing the scientific publications cited in your notification.

FDA New Dietary Ingredient Notification Safety Information
Instructions
In this template, which supplements the data entry screens in the NDI notification electronic
submission portal, you will describe the scientific information on which you base your
conclusion that the dietary supplement containing the NDI will reasonably be expected to be
safe. Safety information includes, among other things, (1) information showing that the NDI
is identical or related to substances documented as having a history of use as food; (2)
information showing that the NDI is identical or related to test articles used in safety studies;
(3) information showing that a substance or product has a history of use as food; and (4)
safety data, including the results of genetic toxicology studies, pharmacokinetic studies,
animal toxicology studies and human clinical studies. This template asks for details about
the identity of the NDI, verification of that identity, information about history of use as food,
and any other evidence relevant to the safety of the NDI under its proposed conditions of use
in the dietary supplement. After filling in the template, you will upload the completed
template as an attachment to your online NDI notification and attach files containing the
scientific publications cited in your notification.
For a notification that concerns the use of an NDI in a dietary supplement that contains no
other ingredients, the safety of the NDI and the dietary supplement would be synonymous.
In other situations, however, that may not be the case. For example, when an NDI is used in
a dietary supplement with one or more other NDIs, the safety of the dietary supplement may
not be the sum of the safety of the individual NDIs. In such circumstances, you should
document your basis for concluding that the dietary supplement will reasonably be expected
to be safe and explain why that conclusion is reasonable. For example, if two botanical
extracts have separate histories of use in traditional medicine, but no history of being used
together, the safety of the combination may not be clear from the safety information
pertaining to the individual NDIs. On the other hand, if an extract of a medicinal herb is
combined with an extract of a material that has a long history of safe use as food, then it may
be reasonable to conclude that the combination is safe based on information about the safety
of the individual NDIs. If you wish to submit a notification for the use of an NDI in a dietary
supplement with other NDIs, the FDA recommends that you confer with a member of the
New Dietary Ingredient Review Team in FDA’s Division of Dietary Supplement Programs
about how to proceed. If you have any questions concerning this matter please contact the
New Dietary Ingredients Review Team, which can be reached on (240) 402-1756 or by email
at [email protected].
If a section or subsection is not applicable to your notification, mark “N/A” in your response.
Sections marked as “Required” in the template’s section headings must have complete
responses in all subsections for which you have data. If you leave a “Required” section
blank or respond “N/A,” FDA will consider your notification incomplete for failure to
comply with 21 CFR 190.6(b). An incomplete notification does not satisfy the requirement
to submit an NDI notification. You may not introduce your NDI or a dietary supplement
containing the NDI into interstate commerce, or deliver the NDI or dietary supplement for
2
FDA New Dietary Ingredient Notification Safety Information
introduction into interstate commerce, until at least 75 days after you have submitted a
complete notification to FDA.
Please include full citations for all published and unpublished sources cited or relied on in
your notification in the Reference List (Section 5). You will be prompted to attach e-copies
of these sources when you return to the electronic submission portal after filling in this
template.
The template includes some sections identified as “Recommended.” These sections solicit
information that FDA considers helpful in evaluating NDI notifications. You are encouraged
but not required to respond to template sections that are identified as “Recommended.”
However, if you leave a “Recommended” section blank or respond “N/A” and FDA
determines that the information is needed to establish safety, your notification may be
considered inadequate to conclude that the NDI will reasonably be expected to be safe under
its proposed conditions of use in the dietary supplement.

3. History Of Use Or Other Evidence Of Safety (Required)
3.1 History of use
If you are providing history of use as evidence of safety, then for each instance of history of
use you must either provide the information requested in Subsections 3.1.1 to 3.1.4, when
applicable, or discuss in Subsection 3.1.5 how the history of use evidence supports a
conclusion that the NDI will reasonably be expected to be safe under the conditions
recommended or suggested in the labeling of the dietary supplement.
3.1.1
Description of the relationship between the historically consumed
material and the NDI or dietary supplement containing the NDI
(Please describe the relationship between the historically consumed material and your
product(s). For example, if your NDI is an omega-3 fatty acid, how is it chemically
identical to the fish oil omega 3 fatty acids normally consumed by people?)
3.1.2

historically consumed material and the NDI or dietary supplement
containing the NDI
(Please describe the information verifying the relationship between each historically
consumed material and the NDI or dietary supplement.)
3.1.3

historically consumed material
(Please summarize the history of use data about the serving size, frequency of intake,
duration of use, and other relevant conditions of use of the historically consumed
material; provide your estimate of cumulative exposure to the historically consumed
material; explain how you calculated the estimate based on supporting history of use
data cited in your notification; and discuss how estimated consumer exposure to the
historically consumed material compares to the estimated consumer exposure to your
NDI under its proposed conditions of use in the dietary supplement. If the proposed
exposure of your NDI is above the levels for which a history of safe use in human food
has been documented, describe any other evidence of safety (such as animal testing or
human clinical trials) that you relied on to conclude that the NDI will reasonably be
expected to be safe under the conditions recommended or suggested in the labeling of the
dietary supplement.

consumed material and whether any monitoring for adverse events was conducted.)
3.1.5
Alternative rationale for reasonable expectation of safety based on
history of use
(Provide any alternative or additional rationale for concluding that the history of use
evidence cited in your notification supports a conclusion that the NDI will reasonably be
expected to be safe under its proposed conditions of use in the dietary supplement.)
3.2 Other evidence of safety
If you relied on other evidence of safety in addition to or instead of history of use, you must
either provide the information requested in Subsections 3.2.1 to 3.2.7 for each safety study
cited in your notification, or explain in Subsection 3.2.8 how the safety data and information
in your notification support a conclusion that the NDI will reasonably be expected to be safe
under the conditions recommended or suggested in the labeling of the dietary supplement.

for selecting and screening human subjects. Include complete information on
observational endpoints (e.g., clinical chemistry, hematology, histopathology, etc),
methods used to determine and quantify these endpoints, frequency of data collection
(endpoint monitoring), and quality control procedures.
3.2.7
Discussion of toxicity and conclusion
(Discussion should include key study findings and biological relevance of any
statistically significant finding, calculation of the margin of safety using the estimated
No-Observed-Adverse-Effect-Level (NOAEL), Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI), Estimated
Daily Intake (EDI), and background exposure versus history of use, and how the data
from the study factor into your conclusion that the NDI will reasonably be expected to be
safe under its proposed condition of use in the dietary supplement.)
3.2.8
Alternative rationale for reasonable expectation of safety based on
other evidence of safety
(Provide any alternative or additional rationale for concluding that the other evidence of
safety cited in your notification supports a conclusion that the NDI will reasonably be
expected to be safe under its proposed conditions of use in the dietary supplement.)
4. Basis For Concluding That the New Dietary Ingredient Will
Reasonably Be Expected To Be Safe For Use in the Dietary
Supplement (Required)
(You must either provide the information requested in Subsections 4.1 to 4.6, when
applicable, or explain in Subsection 4.7 your alternative rationale for concluding, based on
