Sharing knowledge - my research to locate an SN source has led me to discover a pending law called the Youth Poisoning Protection Act.
TLDR - IT IS ALREADY VERY DIFFICULT TO LOCATE SN SOURCE IN US, BUT THIS BILL WILL MAKE IT BASICALLY IMPOSSIBLE BY THE END OF THE YEAR. START RESEARCHING NOW.
Youth Poisoning Prevention Act (U.S. – 2025)
This federal bill (H.R. 1442) aims to ban the sale of consumer products containing 10% or more sodium nitrite by weight. It's designed to reduce access to high-purity sodium nitrite, which has been linked to intentional poisonings and suicides.
What it does:
Current status (as of July 2025):
Until it's enacted, it's not yet enforceable at the federal level, though some states (like Washington) already have similar restrictions in place.
As of July 16th, 2025, the bill was re-read in the Senate so it seems like it will move quickly to the president to sign and then become enforceable 90 days later. As I've read on many message boards, it seems to be extremely difficult to find a source within the US even right now - it sounds like this bill is going to make it almost impossible.
FYI - I have not yet located a source myself and do not have PM capabilities so unable to discuss privately.

Actions - H.R.1442 - 119th Congress (2025-2026): Youth Poisoning Protection Act
