Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill amends federal law to strengthen regulations on dietary supplements by establishing two new prohibited practices. First, it bans the sale of products marketed as dietary supplements that don't actually meet the legal definition of a dietary supplement. Second, it prohibits dietary supplements that are prepared or handled by individuals who have been debarred from the industry by the FDA. The legislation also gives the FDA enhanced authority to exclude non-compliant dietary supplements from being imported into the United States and expands the agency's ability to seize products that violate these new rules. The bill affects dietary supplement manufacturers and importers, as well as consumers who rely on these products, by tightening oversight and enforcement mechanisms but does not establish specific funding or implementation timelines.
