The senate is voting on the Durbin act now. I am watching CSpan. I hope I get good news so I can SLEEP tonight. SO worried. He has failed before, lets hope he does again. Someday he will stop being elected I hope. We have to be free to buy supplements that help us to heal.

What the Bill Mandates

According to the Congressional Record, the bill would amend the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) to specifically require dietary supplement manufacturers to register their facility as well as the following information:

a description of each dietary supplement product manufactured by such facility;
a list of all ingredients in each such dietary supplement product; and
a copy of the label and labeling for each such product.

In addition, the bill would require updated registration when the company begins making a product it hasn’t made nor registered previously, when a registered product is reformulated, or when it discontinues making a registered product.
