Food Labeling; Statement of Identity, Nutrition Labeling and Ingredient Labeling of Dietary Supplements; Compliance Policy Guide, Revocation

概要

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is revising its nutrition labeling requirements for dietary supplements that contain liquid extracts to allow the quantity of an extract to be listed on the basis of volume, solvents present to be listed in the ingredient statement, and the optional listing in the nutrition label of the ratio of starting material to the final volume of solvent, and to clarify that the quantity of any constituents of dietary ingredients be listed in the nutrition label in terms of quantitative amount by weight on a ``per serving'' basis. FDA is also eliminating the requirement that a description of a dried extract include the name of the solvent used. This action is in response to four petitions for reconsideration.
