PERFECT Act of 2026

Increased Transparency and Accessibility: The Secretary of Defense must publish prohibited ingredient lists on a website that can be viewed in full without a search function, as a searchable database, and as a downloadable digital file (Section 978a(b)).

Disciplinary Relief for Good Faith Errors: Commanding officers may elect not to subject members to discipline or administrative separation if the member meets a "good faith standard," such as not having actual knowledge that the supplement contained a prohibited ingredient (Section 978a(c)).

Protection Against Misidentification: The "good faith standard" protects members who reasonably rely on a list that fails to identify an ingredient due to a misspelling or name variation (Section 978a(e)).

Enhanced Digital Tools for Safety: The Secretary is required to update the Operation Supplement Safety website with potential features like autofill, autocorrect, and artificial intelligence tools to scan product labels (Section 2(c)).

Improved Education: The bill mandates a review of training programs to include education on dietary supplement safety and the prohibited ingredients list (Section 2(d)).

Requirement for Continued Education or Testing: Under the option to avoid discipline, a member must agree to participate in education, counseling, or drug testing (Section 978a(c)(1)(C)).

Reporting of Disciplinary Actions: The Secretary must submit annual reports to Congress detailing the total number of administrative separation actions initiated for possession or use of prohibited ingredients, including details like pay grade and outcome (Section 2(e)(3)(A)(i)).
