Live music, dancing and a live sense of community filled Longâs Park Sunday night as concertgoers flocked to the park to lay out their blankets and set up their lawn chairs for the first concert back in Longâs Park since 2019.
Bakithi Kumaloâs Graceland Experience kicked off the Longâs Park Summer Music Series around 7:30 p.m. before a park filled with concertgoers of all ages. Many attendees brought their dogs, and one even brought a 15-year-old parrot named Jesse.
After being put on hiatus in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many concertgoers were excited that live music returned to Longâs Park for the summer. People danced and even used hula hoops to the music towards the front of the audience, while others settled in with picnics or barbeques.
Over a 26-year period, most new dietary ingredient notifications were met with objections from FDA, government data shows.
Since the mid-1990s, FDA has objected to most new dietary ingredient notifications (NDINs) for one reason or another. This past fiscal year was no different.
In FY20, filed 27 objection letters to NDINs and acknowledged 16 notifications without objection, reflecting an acknowledgement rate of 37.2%, FDA data shows.
Steven Tave, director of FDA’s Office of Dietary Supplement Programs, reminded industry during a 2019 public meeting that “an effective NDI notification process represents FDA s only opportunity to evaluate the safety of a new dietary ingredient before it becomes available to consumers.”
