FDA would list all dietary supplements in public database

What does this do?

This bill would require companies that make, package, or distribute dietary supplements to register each product with the FDA. Registration means submitting the product name, ingredients, serving sizes, directions, allergen warnings, and a copy of the label. The FDA would build a public online database so consumers can search this information, though some details like proprietary blend amounts and staff contact info would stay private.

Who does it affect?

This bill directly affects dietary supplement manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. Everyday consumers who buy supplements would also be affected, as they would gain access to a searchable public database of product information.

Why does it matter?

Supplements already on the market when the law takes effect would have 18 months to complete their listings, while new products would need to be listed before going on sale. Any supplement sold without a proper listing on file would be considered mislabeled under federal law, which could expose companies to legal consequences.
