Prohibiting Tianeptine and Other Dangerous Products Act of 2026
To amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to establish new prohibited acts relating to dietary supplements.
Summary
The bill amends federal food and drug law to add new restrictions on dietary supplements. It prohibits marketing products as dietary supplements if they do not meet the legal definition of a dietary supplement, and prohibits dietary supplements that are prepared by or under the direction of persons who have been debarred from working with dietary supplements. The bill also gives federal authorities expanded powers to exclude such products from importation and to seize them from the market. These changes apply to products marketed as dietary supplements that may not qualify as such under law.
