To the Editor:
In 1994, Congress carved out an exception to the Food and Drug Act. This exception now accounts for billions of dollars annually in "nutraceuticals" that are tested neither for efficacy (as if they were drugs) nor even for safety (as if they were food). To rearrange the responsibility for food testing while preserving this loophole seems a misappropriation of effort.
