Kupu Whakataki: Te Hononga Huna i waenganui i te FDA me ngā Hiri Rapa
Ina kōrero tātou mō te FDA (US Food and Drug Administration), ka whakaaro tonu te nuinga o te tangata ki ngā rongoā, ki te kai, ki ngā taputapu hauora rānei. Heoi, he iti noa iho te hunga e mōhio ana kei raro i te tirotiro a te FDA ngā wāhanga iti pēnei i ngā hiri rapa. He whānuitia te whakamahinga o ngā hiri rapa i roto i ngā taputapu hauora, ngā mīhini tukatuka kai, ngā taputapu rongoā, tae noa ki ngā tono rererangi. Ahakoa he iti, he mahi nui tā rātou ki te ārai i ngā turuturu, te poke, me te whakarite i te haumaru. Mena he iti iho te kounga o ngā hiri, ka raru pea ngā taputapu, ka poke te hua, ka mōrearea rānei te hauora. Nō reira, ko te whakaaetanga a te FDA te "paerewa koura" mō aua hua. Engari he aha te tikanga o te whakaaetanga a te FDA? Me pēhea e taea ai e koe te manatoko mēnā kua whakaaetia ponotia tētahi hua? Ka tūhuratia e tēnei tuhinga ēnei pātai me te taipitopito, ma te whakamahi i ngā tauira mahi mai i te umanga hiri rapa hei āwhina i a koe ki te mārama ki tōna hiranga.
He aha te tikanga o te kupu FDA Approved? — Te whakamārama "He aha te tikanga o te kupu FDA Approved?"
He kupu e whakahuatia pinepinetia ana te whakaaetanga a te FDA, engari he maha ngā wā e hē ana te mārama. Ki te kī māmā, ko te tikanga o te whakaaetanga a te FDA kua arotakehia te hua e te US Food and Drug Administration hei whakaū i te tutuki i ngā paerewa haumaru, whai huatanga, me te kounga mō ngā whakamahinga motuhake. Heoi, ehara tēnei i te tukanga kotahi noa iho; kei roto ko te whakamātautau taipitopito, te tuku tuhinga, me te aroturuki tonu.
Mō ngā hiri rapa, ko te whakaaetanga a te FDA e pā ana ki ngā rauemi e tutuki ana i ngā ture a te FDA, pērā i te 21 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) Wāhanga 177, e whakamārama ana i ngā whakaritenga mō ngā tāpiringa kai ā-kore, te Wāhanga 820 rānei, e kapi ana i ngā ture pūnaha kounga mō ngā taputapu hauora. Mena ka whakamahia ngā hiri rapa ki ngā mata pa ki te kai (hei tauira, ngā hiri i roto i ngā taputapu tukatuka kai) ngā taputapu hauora rānei (hei tauira, ngā hiri i roto i ngā ngira, i ngā taputapu pokanga rānei), me hanga mai i ngā rauemi kua whakaaetia e te FDA kia kore ai e mimiti i ngā matū kino, e puta ai he mate pāwera, e poke rānei i ngā hua.
Ko ngā mātāpono matua o te whakaaetanga a te FDA ko:
- Haumaru Tuatahi: Me whakaoti ngā rauemi i ngā whakamātautau paitini hei whakaatu kāore e tukuna he matū kino i raro i ngā tikanga whakamahinga kua whakaritea. Hei tauira, ka whakamātauhia ngā rauemi hiri rapa noa pēnei i te silicone, te rapa EPDM rānei hei aromatawai i tō rātou pumau puta noa i ngā pāmahana me ngā taumata pH rerekē.
- Whakapūmau Whai Hua: Me pono te mahi a ngā hua, pērā i ngā hiri e tū atu ana ki ngā rerekētanga pēhanga me te pāmahana me te kore e pakaru. Ka arotakehia e te FDA ngā raraunga whakamātautau hei whakarite i te whai huatanga i roto i ngā tono o te ao tūturu.
- Te Whakatutukitanga o te Pūnaha Kounga: Me whai ngā kaihanga i ngā Tikanga Hanga Pai (GMP), me te whakarite kia whakahaeretia, kia taea hoki te whai i ia taahiraa o te tukanga whakaputa. Mō ngā kamupene hiri rapa, ko te tikanga o tēnei ko te pupuri i ngā tuhinga taipitopito me ngā arotake auau mai i te kimi rauemi mata ki te tuku hua kua oti.
He mea nui kia mōhio koe, ehara te whakaaetanga a te FDA i te mea kotahi mō te katoa. He maha ngā āhua:
- Whakaaetanga i mua i te Mākete (PMA): Mō ngā taputapu hauora mōrearea nui, me nui ngā raraunga haumanu e hiahiatia ana. Tērā pea ka uru te PMA ki ngā hiri rapa e whakamahia ana i roto i ngā taputapu ka taea te whakauru pērā i ngā taputapu whakatere.
- Whakaaetanga 510(k): E pā ana ki ngā hua mōrearea-waenga ki te iti, ka tutukihia tēnei ara mā te whakaatu i te "ōrite nui" ki tētahi taputapu tohu kua hokohoko turetia i te United States. He maha ngā hiri rapa e whakamahia ana i roto i ngā taputapu hauora noa e whai ana i tēnei ara whakaaetanga.
- Pānui Whakapā Kai (FCN): Mō ngā rauemi whakapā kai, ina tukuna he pānui e ngā kaihanga, ā, ki te kore he whakahē a te FDA, ka taea te hokohoko i te hua.
He mea nui te mārama ki ēnei rerekētanga mō te umanga hiri rapa. Ehara i te mea ka āwhina noa i ngā kamupene ki te karo i ngā tūponotanga ture engari ka taea hoki e rātou te whakaatu i ngā painga o te hokohoko, pērā i te kī "Kei te tutuki ā mātou hiri i ngā paerewa FDA 21 CFR 177" hei kukume i ngā kiritaki i roto i ngā rāngai hauora, kai rānei.
Me pēhea te tirotiro mēnā kua whakaaetia e te FDA tētahi hua? — Te whakautu "Me pēhea te tirotiro mēnā kua whakaaetia e te FDA tētahi hua?"
He mea noa te whakamana i te whakaaetia o tētahi hua e te FDA mō ngā kaihoko me ngā pakihi, engari he uaua pea te tukanga. Kāore te FDA e "whakaae" tika i ia hua; engari, e whakaae ana ki ngā rauemi, ngā taputapu, ngā tukanga rānei. Nō reira, me whai huarahi maha-taahiraa te whakamana. Kei raro nei ngā tikanga whai hua, mā te whakamahi i ngā hiri rapa hei tauira:
- Tirohia ngā Pūtake Raraunga Whaimana a te FDA: He maha ngā pūtake raraunga ipurangi e whakaratohia ana e te FDA, ko te nuinga o te wā:
- Te Pūtake Raraunga Rēhita me te Rārangi Pūrere a te FDA: Mō ngā pūrere hauora. Whakauruhia te ingoa kamupene, te tau hua rānei hei tirotiro i te tūnga rēhita. Hei tauira, mēnā he hiri rapa kei roto i ngā pūrere hauora, me rēhita te kaihanga ki te FDA, ā, me whai hua kua rārangihia.
- Pūtake Raraunga Pānui Matū Whakapā Kai (FCN) a te FDA: Mō ngā rauemi whakapā kai. Rapua mā te ingoa rauemi, mā te kaihanga rānei kia kite ai mēnā he FCN tika.
- Ngā Hua Rongoā Kua Whakaaetia e te FDA (Orange Book) me ngā Pūrere Hauora: He mea nui ake ēnei mō ngā rongoā, ngā pūrere rānei i te katoa, kaua ki ngā wāhanga. Mō ngā hiri, he pai ake te tīmata me te kaihanga.
Ngā Hipanga: Tirohia te paetukutuku a te FDA (fda.gov) ā, whakamahia te mahi rapu. Whakauruhia ngā kupumatua pēnei i te "hiri rapa" te ingoa kamupene rānei, engari he whānui pea ngā hua. Ko tētahi huarahi whai hua ake ko te pātai tika ki te nama tiwhikete FDA a te kaihanga, ki te waehere hua rānei.
- Arotake i ngā Tapanga me ngā Tuhinga o te Hua: Ko ngā hua kua whakaaetia e te FDA e whakaatu ana i ngā mōhiohio tiwhikete ki ngā tapanga, ki ngā takai, ki ngā tuhinga hangarau rānei. Hei tauira, ko ngā hiri rapa ka tohua pea ki te "FDA compliant" me te "USP Class VI" rānei (te paerewa US Pharmacopeia Class VI, e whakamahia whānuitia ana mō ngā rauemi kounga-hauora). Kia mahara ko te "FDA compliant" ka kī pea he piri ki ngā ture, kaua ki te whakaaetanga ōkawa, nō reira me whai manatoko anō.
- Whakapā atu ki te Kaihanga, tono rānei i ngā Tiwhikete: Hei pakihi, ka taea e koe te tono tika ki te kaiwhakarato hiri rapa mō ngā tiwhikete whakaae FDA, ngā pūrongo whakamātautau rānei. Mā ngā kamupene whai mana e whakarato:
- Tiwhikete Whakatutukitanga: He taunakitanga e tutuki ana ngā rauemi i ngā ture a te FDA.
- Ngā Pūrongo Whakamātautau: Pēnei i ngā whakamātautau tangohanga, ngā whakamātautau hototahitanga koiora rānei (mō ngā tono hauora) mai i ngā taiwhanga tuatoru.
- Tau Rēhita o te Whare Whakahaere FDA: Mena kei te hanga taputapu hauora te kaihanga i roto i te US, me rēhita e rātou tā rātou whare ki te FDA.
- Whakamahia ngā Tari Tiwhikete Tuatoru: I ētahi wā, ka whakangāwarihia te whakaaetanga a te FDA mā roto i ngā tiwhikete tuatoru (hei tauira, NSF International, UL rānei). Mā te tirotiro i ngā pātengi raraunga a ēnei tari ka taea hoki te whakarato i ngā tohu.
- Kia Mataara ki ngā Mahanga Noa: Kāore te whakaaetanga a te FDA e pumau; ka taea te whakakore i runga i ngā huringa ture, i ngā mōrearea hou rānei. Nō reira, he mea nui te manatoko auau. Hei tāpiri, kaua e whakapoauau i te "kua whakaaetia e te FDA" me te "kua rēhitatia e te FDA." Ko te rēhitatanga ko te tikanga kua rārangihia te kamupene ki te FDA, engari kāore e tika kia whakaaetia ngā hua. Mō ngā hiri rapa, ko te arotahi ko te whakaaetanga taumata-rauemi.
Hei tauira, me whakaaro koe ki tētahi kamupene hiri rapa: Me kī kei te hanga mowhiti hiri tō kamupene mō ngā taputapu tukatuka kai. Ka taea e koe te whakaatu me te whakahīhī "Kua paahitia e ā mātou hua ngā whakamātautau FDA 21 CFR 177.2600" me te hono atu ki ngā pūrongo whakamātautau i runga i tō paetukutuku, hei whakarei ake i te whakawhirinaki o ngā kiritaki. I taua wā, i te wā e whakaako ana i ngā kiritaki, ka taea e koe te ārahi i a rātou ki te manatoko takitahi, e kore e whakapai ake i te māramatanga anake engari e whakapakari ake ana hoki i te mana o te waitohu.
Te Pānga o te Whakaaetanga a te FDA ki te Ahumahi Hiri Rapa
Ahakoa he iti, he mea nui ngā hiri rapa mō ngā tono utu nui. Ehara i te mea he take ture anake te whakaaetanga a te FDA engari he whakaata hoki i te whakataetae mākete. Anei ōna pānga nui:
- Te Ārai Uru Mākete: I roto i te maha o ngā ahumahi, pērā i te hauora, te kai rānei, kāore e taea e ngā hua kāore he whakaaetanga a te FDA te uru ki te mākete o Amerika. E ai ki ngā raraunga a te FDA, neke atu i te 70% o ngā taputapu hauora e whakawhirinaki ana ki ngā hiri, ā, tata ki te 15% o ngā whakahokinga paru ā-tau i roto i te ahumahi kai e pā ana ki ngā rahunga hiri. Nō reira, mā te haumi ki te whakaaetanga a te FDA ka taea te karo i ngā whakahokinga utu nui me ngā tautohe ture.
- Te Whakawhirinakitanga me te Rerekētanga o te Waitohu: I roto i ngā rapunga a Google, kei te piki haere te rahinga rapunga o ia marama e ngā kupumatua pēnei i te "ngā hiri rapa kua whakaaetia e te FDA", e tohu ana kei te piki haere te āwangawanga o ngā kaihoko me ngā pakihi mō te haumaru. Mā te waihanga i ngā ihirangi mātauranga (pēnei i tēnei tuhinga), ka taea e tō kamupene te kukume mai i ngā manuhiri rauropi me te whakapai ake i ngā tūranga SEO. He pai ake ki a Google ngā ihirangi roa taketake, whai kōrero, nō reira he nui ake te tūponotanga kia whakarārangihia he tātaritanga hohonu 2000-kupu.
- Kaitātari Auaha: Ka akiaki ngā paerewa FDA i te auahatanga rauemi. Hei tauira, mā te whakawhanake i ngā rauemi rapa e pai ake ana ki te taiao, e hototahi ana ki te koiora, ka taea te whakatuwhera i ngā mākete hou, pērā i ngā taputapu hauora ka taea te mau, te tukatuka kai rauropi rānei.
- Te Piriti ki te Whakatutukitanga o te Ao: Ko te whakaaetanga a te FDA e kitea ana he paearu ā-ao, he rite ki te tohu CE a te EU. Mō ngā kaihokohoko hiri rapa, ka māmā ake te urunga ki ētahi atu mākete.
Heoi anō, kei reira tonu ngā wero. Ka roa pea te tukanga FDA, ka nui hoki te utu—e 6-12 marama te toharite, ā, e tekau mano tāra te utu mō ngā whakamātautau. Engari mō ngā kamupene whai kawenga, he haumitanga whai hua tēnei. Mā te whakahaere kounga ā-roto me ngā arotake auau, ka taea e koe te whakahaere i te tukanga.
