As a rule, the FDA does not regulate supplements. If you want to make sure you're actually getting what you think you are buying, stick with brands that are USP verified - mainly NatureMade and Kirkland (CostCo) brands.
It's interesting that the article mentions NY as several years ago the AG in NY had popular store-brand supplements tested and when most failed, to have them removed from shelves.

The F.D.A. requires that companies verify that every supplement they manufacture is safe and accurately labeled. But the system essentially operates on the honor code.
Under a 1994 federal law, supplements are exempt from the F.D.A.’s strict approval process for prescription drugs, which requires reviews of a product’s safety and effectiveness before it goes to market.
