FDA Form 483 Responses ~ FDA Consulting Services
What is FDA Form 483?
FDA Form 483 is a document issued by FDA investigators notifying a company's management of "objectionable conditions" observed during an on-site inspection that may violate the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act or related regulations, such as issues with manufacturing practices, labeling, or record-keeping.
What Should You Do to Respond to Form 483?
Companies are encouraged to respond in writing within 15 business days of receiving FDA Form 483, with a corrective action plan to address the observations. If the FDA has inspected or audited your business or facility and issued you a Form 483 with observations related to compliance issues, don't panic. Contact the FDA Consulting Group right away! We can help you understand what the observations mean and how to respond effectively.
