NBJ Analysis: If Passed,
McCain Bill Would Eat Away at Supplement Sales
February 9, 2010
In the wake of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency’s (USADA)
“Supplement Safety Now” campaign, Senator John McCain last week
introduced the Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010, which is aimed at
improving the current level of safety and transparency in the U.S.
supplement industry. If signed into law, the legislation would alter
portions of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of
1994. Among the major changes would be a requirement for all supplement
manufacturers to go through an annual registration process that
would include disclosure of all ingredients contained in products. Read

life, the offerings in the functional
food and beverage category continue to expand. Despite the recession,
770 new functional food and beverage products
were launched in the United States in 2009. But just how
