From our President & CEO, Steve Mister:
In a year defined by rapid change across policy, regulation, and public perception, CRN proactively influenced the environment in which our members compete, innovate, and communicate with consumers, taking swift and strategic action to protect the very existence of the dietary supplement and functional food industry.
Whether standing our ground in the fight for commercial free speech, confronting additional state age restriction proposals, advancing constructive engagement with federal officials on tariffs, regulatory enforcement and other key issues, or elevating the industry’s voice in critical debates, 2025 was a year of decisive action grounded in science and strategy.
Our team is grateful to CRN member companies and their staff that support and engage with our initiatives. This report provides an overview of our important work together.
