FDA’s Updates on Dietary Supplement Regulation in 2025
The FDA regulates dietary supplements under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA).
Unlike pharmaceuticals, supplements do not require FDA approval before being marketed.
However, manufacturers are responsible for ensuring the safety of their products and accurate labeling.
In 2025, the FDA announced a major reorganization by establishing the Human Foods Program (HFP), aiming to modernize and strengthen the evaluation of food ingredients and dietary supplements.
