FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) announced its Tobacco Product Manufacturing Facility Visits program today, which is intended to give FDA staff an opportunity to:
Visit facilities involved in the manufacturing of tobacco products, including any related laboratory testing,
Observe the manufacturing operations of the tobacco industry – from the receipt of raw materials to the distribution of finished products, and
Learn about the manufacturing practices and processes unique to regulated tobacco products and their facilities.
These tours are educational in nature and are not intended to include or replace official FDA inspections of facilities. Parties interested in participating in this program may submit a request for participation via the Federal Register Notice Docket No. FDA-2012-N-0853.
More information about the program can also be found in the Federal Register Notice Docket No. FDA-2012-N-0853.
