Food Labeling; Statement of Identity, Nutrition Labeling and Ingredient Labeling of Dietary Supplements

Samenvatting

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its food labeling regulations to require that dietary supplements be identified with the statement of identity ``Dietary Supplement'' on the principal display panel of the label and modify the nutrition labeling and ingredient labeling requirements for these foods. FDA is proposing these actions in response to the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (the DSHEA). FDA is also responding to a citizen petition on type size requirements for these products.
