Blame Congress. While the executive branch may write regulations, they must operate within the mandate defined by Congress.
The DSHEA of 1994 (authored by Orrin Hatch) explicitly forbids the regulation of dietary supplements by the FDA so long as they do not make health claims. Unless that bill is repealed, the FDA has no authority over supplements.
