What this bill would do

The Drug Origin Transparency Act of 2026 aims to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. It focuses on enhancing how much information is reported regarding drug manufacturing amounts. The bill requires more detailed information about the drug supply chain, including the identity of suppliers for active ingredients and in-process materials. It also requires these reports to be submitted more frequently than once a year. Additionally, the bill mandates that drug labels include information about the original manufacturer and supply chain.
