Короткий зміст

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing the availability of a final guidance for industry entitled "The Declaration of Certain Isolated or Synthetic Non-Digestible Carbohydrates as Dietary Fiber on Nutrition and Supplement Facts Labels; Guidance for Industry." The guidance identifies eight specific, additional isolated or synthetic non-digestible carbohydrates that we intend to add to our regulatory definition of "dietary fiber" through our regular rulemaking process. In the interim, the guidance also advises manufacturers of our policy for when one or more of these eight non-digestible carbohydrates, present in a food, are included in the declared amount of "dietary fiber," and for the use of a caloric value for polydextrose of 1 kilocalorie per gram (kcal/g).
