FDA Continues Weight-Loss Supplement Investigation
In a continuing investigation, FDA (Rockville, MD) has determined that dozens of weight-loss supplements, most of them imported from China, contain hidden and potentially harmful drugs. The agency plans to issue a longer list of brands to avoid that are spiked with drugs in the coming weeks, an FDA spokeswoman said.

So far, the FDA has cited 69 tainted weight-loss supplements.
