flag FDA considers letting supplement labels show health warning just once to cut clutter and costs.

flag The FDA is considering allowing dietary supplement labels to display the standard health disclaimer only once per package instead of with every claim, aiming to reduce clutter and manufacturing costs. flag The agency, which doesn’t review supplements for safety or effectiveness before sale, is pausing enforcement while evaluating the change, though no timeline has been set. flag Industry groups support the move, saying a single clear warning suffices, but critics, including Harvard’s Dr. Pieter Cohen, warn reduced visibility could mislead consumers, especially given widespread issues with inaccurate or undisclosed ingredients in supplements. flag The Department of Health and Human Services maintains the warning would still be easy to find, but concerns persist over consumer protection.
