> FDA has published a new guidance on “[Requirements for Transactions with First Responders under Section 582 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act — Compliance Policy](http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/Guidances/UCM488240.pdf?ref=fdaweb.com)” that describes FDA’s compliance policy regarding certain requirements in the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act for trading partners engaged in transactions with first responders. “Specifically, FDA does not intend to take action against a dispenser who transfers ownership of a product directly to a first responder without providing product tracing information to the first responder,” as required by the FD&C Act, provided that certain conditions are met, the guidance says.
