What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "CLEAR LABELS Act," seeks to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. It requires drug labeling to include specific information about the original manufacturer and the supply chain. For active pharmaceutical ingredients, the label or certificate must include the name and place of business of the original manufacturer. Finished drug products must include the name and place of business of the original manufacturer of the ingredient, the manufacturer of the finished product, and any packer or distributor. Information can be provided via direct printing or through electronic means like barcodes or QR codes. The law also establishes civil penalties for noncompliance and outlines how these requirements apply to manufactured goods.
