CEO / President, Natural Products Association
Daniel Fabricant, Ph.D., is the president and CEO of the Natural Products Association in Washington, D.C., which has a history as the defender of the industry going back generations and represents over 700 members accounting for more than 10,000 retail, manufacturing, wholesale and distribution locations of natural products, including foods, dietary supplements and health/beauty aids. He is regarded as an expert on FDA, especially in the dietary supplement industry. During part of the Obama administration, he was the agency’s top official overseeing the Division (now Office) of Dietary Supplement Programs. While at the agency, Dan was instrumental in several key enforcement actions—including actions in response to an outbreak of non-hepatitis liver injuries tied to dietary supplements—to protect public health. Moreover, under Daniel’s leadership, NPA filed a lawsuit in recent years against FDA in U.S. District Court, which ultimately led to a favorable outcome for industry over an ingredient widely marketed in dietary supplements called NAC. Daniel is recognized as one of the top NPA lobbyists in D.C.
