Key Points

  • This bill, introduced by Senator Durbin, would require companies that make or sell dietary supplements to register their products with the FDA. Currently, many supplements enter the market without the government knowing exactly what is in them or who is making them.
  • Manufacturers would have to provide the FDA with a copy of the product label, a full list of ingredients, and any health claims made on the packaging. This includes details like warnings, allergen information, and the specific form of the supplement, such as a gummy, pill, or powder.
  • The FDA would create a new online database that the public can search. This would allow shoppers to look up supplement information easily and help the government track which products are being sold in the United States to ensure they meet safety standards.
  • If passed, companies would have 18 months to register products they already sell. New products would need to be registered as soon as they hit the market. The plan includes about $7.8 million in starting funds to help the FDA set up the system and hire staff.
  • Any supplement not registered with the FDA would be considered illegal to sell. While the public can see most ingredients in the new database, the exact amounts of ingredients in secret "proprietary blends" would remain confidential to protect company recipes.
