CQ reports:
"Makers of dietary supplements looked to be on a collision course with Sen. John McCain when the Arizona Republican introduced legislation designed to strengthen policing of products marketed to casual and professional athletes." Yet, "the two sides appear to have reached a compromise they say will be part of a manager's amendment to a major food safety bill (S 510) being readied for Senate floor debate." Notably, "the provisions would require the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to issue long-delayed guidance on acceptable supplement ingredients and report to the Drug Enforcement Administration when it rejects new supplements that contain synthetic anabolic steroids." This "would be a victory for McCain," who wanted the FDA to have more authority over supplements.
