The key word here is "marketed", which means that it cannot be marketed as being a treatment, it would require a disclaimer, much like many sources for herbs and protocols for treating disease. Don't panic, they will still be sold, but not marketed, there is a difference.
If I want to market something, be it homeopathy or anything at all, I’ll do so without any disclaimer related to the FDA or any government body. And so should anyone else who wants to.
you can do that privately, but marketing is subject to legal implications. I can harvest dandelion root, sell it to the co-op in town, and they will buy it, but they cannot say " dandelion root, good as a tonic for liver and iron defiiency" What they can say is, " dandelion root has been used for generations as a health tonic, reported to be good for the liver." It's just splitting hairs around language, which is all law is, anyway. Of course, do what you want. The law is in place to protect the retailer from lawsuit if they claim a cure , and someone comes along saying "this did not cure my cancer".
They already have been doing that, even when the FDA has confirmed results.
Sell cherries, no problem. Put "heart healthy" cherries (FDA confirmed studies) and the cherries are a drug.
Also worth noting that GRAS is anything that was thought of as "safe" while doctors were prescribing cigarettes for sore throat is SAFE until proven otherwise.
