States that nothing in this Act shall authorize the Secretary to establish limits on the amount of any vitamin, mineral, protein, or other food ingredient which may be contained in a food special dietary use, unless the Secretary determines, by regulation that such food would be injurious to health except for such limits.

Provides that nothing in this Act shall be construed to limit the Secretary's exercise of authority concerning food additivies pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmentic Act, or to prescribe the steps to be taken to establish their safety.
