§343–2 Dietary Supplement Labeling Exemptions

Summary

Reprinted scientific pieces — like articles, book chapters, or official abstracts from peer‑reviewed journals — that are printed in full and prepared by the author or editors won't be treated as product labeling when used with the sale of a dietary supplement if five things are true: the content is not false or misleading; it does not promote a specific maker or brand; it is shown so customers see a balanced view of the scientific information (including when grouped with similar items); if shown in a store it is kept physically separate from the supplements; and nothing is attached to it, such as stickers or added notes. Retailers and wholesalers are not limited by the above rule when they sell books or other publications as part of their regular business. If there is a legal case about this rule, the United States must prove the article is false or misleading.
