There is currently a proposed measure in the New York state legislature which would require all dietary supplements to state on their labels whether or not the product has been tested but the USFDA. If this were to be passed into law, the ramifications would be widespread, a case of an individual state body imposing new regulations which supersede (and one could say undermine) the larger federal standard. (California's Prop 65 lawsuits against vitamin-makers is another example of the same type of activity.)

This measure would effect not just those in New York, but any manufacturers selling their products in the New York, the third most populated state in the country.
