Natural Products Association Endorses Harkin-Hatch Bill
May 25, 2010Today, the Natural Products Association (NPA) offered its support of the Dietary Supplement Full Implementation and Enforcement Act of 2010, legislation that would provide the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with additional resources to enforce the strong, existing laws governing supplements, while also holding FDA accountable for their activities with the added resources. The bill was introduced today by Senators Tom Harkin (D-IA) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT). "While some have called for additional regulations on supplements, Senators Harkin and Hatch understand that the real need is to fully enforce the stringent statutes already on the books, to the full extent of the law," said NPA Executive Director and CEO John Gay. "The way to get the bad actors out of the industry is by putting more cops on the street, plain and simple." Full release.
