A bill to amend the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act to promote honesty and fair dealing in the interest of consumers with respect to the labeling and advertising of special dietary foods, such as vitamins and minerals.

Adds the following labeling requirements under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act for products represented to be for special dietary use: (1) the name and address of the manufacturer; (2) the common or usual names of each ingredient present in the product listed in descending order of predominance; (3) a declaration of the percentage of any ingredient of such product if the ingredient is an integral part of such product and is significant with respect to value, quality, nutrition, or acceptability of such product, or the ingredient is required to be so listed by the Secretary by regulation upon a finding that such information would be useful to consumers; and (4) a clear statement of applicable United States recommended daily allowances in the form established by the Secretary.

States that a special dietary food shall be deemed to be misbranded if the Secretary finds, after giving due notice and an opportunity to interested parties for a public hearing, that a therapeutic or preventive claim made for such food product is not supported by substantial evidence; (1) unless advertising for the product is not false or misleading in any particular; (2) and unless all advertising for such product contains, if not printed (television, radio, or other), the name and address of the place of business, where the information required above can be obtained, provided that such information is presented in such terms as to render it likely to be read in the case of visual ads and heard in the case of ads with oral content, and understood by the ordinary individual; (3) and unless the label, labeling, or advertising contains no untrue nutritional, health, or other statement.
