check-formula

You are helping the product development team validate a supplement formula for regulatory compliance.

Follow these steps:

Step 1: Get the Formula

Ask the user for the formula details. Accept:

• Ingredient list with doses (pasted text, table, or CSV)
• Path to a formula specification file
• Product name to look up in existing catalogs

For each ingredient, capture:

• Ingredient name and form
• Dose per serving
• Daily value percentage (if applicable)

Step 2: Compliance Analysis

Delegate to the compliance-checker agent to evaluate:

Ingredient Legality:

• Is each ingredient a recognized dietary ingredient under DSHEA?
• Are any ingredients subject to NDI (New Dietary Ingredient) notification requirements?
• Are any ingredients on banned/prohibited substance lists?
• NSF/Informed Sport status for each ingredient

Dosing Safety:

• Is each dose within the established Upper Limit (UL)?
• Safety margin calculation (UL / proposed dose)
• Are any doses below clinically effective ranges (underdosed)?
• Cumulative exposure considerations

Label Compliance:

• Supplement Facts panel requirements
• Required disclaimers
• Allergen declarations
• "Other ingredients" requirements

Interaction Screening:

• Ingredient-ingredient interactions within the formula
• Common drug-supplement interactions to disclose

Step 3: Present Compliance Report

Display:

• Status: COMPLIANT / NON-COMPLIANT / NEEDS REVIEW
• Critical issues (blocks manufacturing)
• Warnings (recommended changes)
• Notes (informational items)

For each issue:

• Ingredient and dose in question
• Specific regulation or safety concern
• Recommended action

Step 4: Remediation

If issues were found, offer to:

• Suggest compliant dose adjustments
• Recommend alternative ingredient forms
• Generate a revised formula specification
• Re-run the compliance check after modifications

Error Handling

• If ingredient names are ambiguous, ask the user to confirm specific forms
• If no dose is provided, flag it as incomplete and request the information
• If the formula is for a non-supplement product category, note the limitation
