“The discussion draft of this bill takes steps needed to provide consumers with more information and greater transparency into products they rely on every day, including dietary supplements and cosmetics. CHPA appreciates the open, collaborative, and bipartisan process afforded by the leadership of the Senate HELP Committee. On cosmetics reform, CHPA appreciates the important regulatory clarity the draft offers.

“However, we believe that the dietary supplement provisions need amending and that the bill language should go further to provide consumers additional assurances regarding the safety and integrity of dietary supplements sold in the U.S.

“CHPA looks forward to continuing to work with Congress as the FDASLA Act moves through the legislative process.”
