How to Use Health Claims and Nutrient Content Claims in Food Labeling; Public Meeting

Résumé

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing a forthcoming public meeting concerning implementation of sections 303 and 304 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA). Those provisions provide for use, in food labeling, of health claims and nutrient content claims based on authoritative statements published by certain Federal scientific bodies or the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) or any of its subdivisions. We are holding the meeting to allow you to provide information and recommendations to assist us in identifying appropriate approaches for implementing sections 303 and 304 of FDAMA. We anticipate that the discussion will include presentations from people whom we invite to participate as well as from members of the public.
