What this bill would do
The Dietary Supplement Listing Act of 2026 aims to increase transparency regarding dietary supplements. It amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to require manufacturers, packers, or distributors to list their products with the Secretary. This listing must include details such as ingredients, labels, and contact information. The Secretary will establish a publicly searchable electronic database to house this information. The bill sets specific timelines for listing existing products and new products. Finally, it authorizes funding to support these new regulatory activities.
