Sponsored By: Senator Durbin, Richard J. [D-IL]

Introduced

Summary

Tighten enforcement against dietary supplements that are misrepresented or linked to debarred suppliers. This bill would add new prohibited acts to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, expand import exclusions, and broaden seizure powers for products that are not true dietary supplements or that involve debarred individuals.

Show full summary
  • Consumers and families: Would block products marketed as dietary supplements when they do not meet the legal definition, aiming to reduce exposure to mislabeled or dangerous products.
  • Importers and retailers: Would extend import-exclusion rules so shipments tied to the new prohibited acts can be stopped at the border, increasing risk of denied entry for noncompliant goods.
  • Manufacturers and suppliers: Would make it unlawful to introduce supplements prepared or handled with the assistance of people debarred under existing law and would let authorities seize products that violate the new prohibitions.
