Dietary Supplements: New Rules to Ban Dangerous Ingredients

Prohibiting Tianeptine and Other Dangerous Products Act of 2026

Law

This bill, introduced by Mr. Pallone, would make it illegal to sell products as 'dietary supplements' if they do not meet the legal definition of a supplement. This is designed to stop companies from selling dangerous, unapproved drugs—like tianeptine—under the guise of health products.
The law would give the government the power to stop these products at the border and seize them from store shelves. This helps keep harmful substances out of convenience stores and online marketplaces where they are currently sold without much oversight.
It also bans any supplement from being sold if it was made or handled by a person who has been 'debarred.' This means people who have already been legally banned from the food and drug industry for past wrongdoing cannot be involved in making or selling these products.
By tightening these rules, the government aims to protect consumers from accidentally taking addictive or toxic chemicals that are marketed as safe, natural, or helpful for health.
