FDA Proposes Health Claims for Sugar Alcohols and Dental Caries Prevention

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to allow the use of health claims on food labels about the relationship between sugar alcohols and dental caries, and to exempt sugar alcohol-containing foods from certain regulations. The FDA is responding to a petition from the National Association of Chewing Gum Manufacturers, Inc. and a group of sugar alcohol manufacturers.
