Conventional Foods Being Marketed as “Functional Foods”; Extension of Comment Period

Özet

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is extending to March 5, 2007, the comment period for the notice of public hearing that appeared in the Federal Register of October 25, 2006 (71 FR 62400). In the notice of public hearing, FDA requested comments on how the agency should regulate conventional foods marketed as "functional foods" under its existing legal authority. The agency is taking this action in response to requests for an extension to allow interested persons additional time to submit comments.
