U.S. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) has introduced the Dietary Supplement Listing Act of 2022 (S. 4090) with Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN), aimed at requiring dietary supplement manufacturers to submit information about their products to FDA.
While introducing the proposal on the Senate floor on Apr. 26, Durbin argued that FDA and consumers are “flying blind” and should have basic information about what products are on the market, what’s in them, where they’re manufactured, etc.
“Seventy percent of people in America take a dietary supplement including me,” Durbin said. “I also believe that Americans who take vitamins, minerals, and herbs for their health and well-being have a right to know what’s in those supplements. Many people assume that if a product is sold in the United States of America, somebody has inspected it and it must be safe. Unfortunately, that’s not always true.”
