Brazil – Proposes a bill imposing severe penalties for fraud in dietary supplements

Congressman Felipe Carreras (PSB-PE) has introduced a bill (PL 5229/2025), currently under debate in the Chamber of Deputies, that seeks to tighten regulations in Brazil’s dietary supplement market by expanding oversight, quality standards, and penalties for fraud and adulteration.
The bill doubles the penalties for adulteration offenses. “The company could be disqualified and those responsible could face criminal charges, with the possibility of imprisonment,”
