Please Oppose the
Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010!
"A series of new laws for criminals to ignore is not the answer" . - John Gay, CEO, Natural Products Assc.
At a press conference Feb.3rd, 2010, Senator McCain(R-AZ)and Senator Dorgan(D-ND)announced that they would be introducing legislation(Dietary Supplement Safety Act 0f 2010)that would amend the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA)to give the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)additional powers over retailers and suppliers in the dietary supplement industry.
""Our industry has long supported efforts to remove the relatively few bad actors who market adulterated products. We have advocated for additional enforcement funds for regulators,and for giving regulators additional authority to act. What we cannot support is wholesale changes to a regulatory structure that is working,and could work better if the measures we have supported were adopted. A series of new laws for criminals to ignore is not the answer. Some seek to paint with an awfully broad brush. For example, the idea that the 150 million Americans who use dietary supplements are gambling with their health by shopping at mainstream stores just doesn't stand up to scutiny. Hyperbole does not lead to sound policy" - John Gay, execustive director and CEO of the Natural Products Association.
