1. General Comments
|
The passage of DSHEA increased FDA's enforcement powers. The FDA can already seize dietary supplements that pose an unreasonable or significant risk of illness or injury. The Department of Health & Human Services can also stop the sale of an entire class of dietary supplements if they pose an imminent public health hazard.
FDA has finally started to fully implement the law by taking aggressive action against unsubstantiated dietary supplement claims as well as recently issuing a proposed rule on good manufacturing practices for supplements. Give these efforts a chance to work.
