"What the FDA does regulate foods for a few things." Extraneous "what", or rewrite needed.
"Efficacy claims a pre-moderated," I suspect that "a" should be "are".

This was mostly information I did not possess. Thank you.
"We think this kills people, so we suggest - strongly, yes, but this is not an order - that you stop selling it."
I have personal, negative experience with this behavior. One day, I went to the drugstore to resupply the OTC allergy meds that worked best for me. None there. Or at any other store. I eventually found out that the FDA had issued a similar "suggestion" about it, and the manufacturers had all stopped making it. Relevant to your point about marketing, there was apparently nothing wrong with it as an allergy med. But it had gained a non-trivial amount of off-label use as a diet control mechanism, and when pregnant women abused it in this way, there was a non-trivial risk of death. Very frustrating to me, as a non-abuser of the drug. I'd have been happier if they'd put it on a prescription basis, but what they did just made it completely unavailable, apparently permanently.
