The new regulations of FDA on nutrition labeling

I. nutrition labeling

the nutrition labeling and Guidance Act, which is based on the food, drugs and Cosmetics Act, requires most foods to be labeled with nutrition, and requires food labels to include nutrition ingredient statements and appropriate health statements in accordance with specific requirements

the Dietary Supplement Health Education Act requires manufacturers to add the words "dietary supplement" to product labels

although the requirements for nutrition labeling of dietary supplements and traditional foods are very different, some requirements apply to both.

These 14 dietary ingredients have a specified daily intake reference amount or daily reference amount. The label must also indicate the daily intake reference amount or daily reference amount, and adopt the same format as each intake

For food, it is required to have a "nutrition facts" panel, and for dietary supplements, it is required to have a "supplement facts" panel. The effective content of 14 ingredients and all ingredients are required to be marked on the panel. The 14 ingredients that must be marked for the wide impact of the packaging bag are: calories, calories from fat, total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, total sugar, food fiber, sucrose, protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, iron, sodium. (ingredients with content lower than the exempted amount are not marked)

③ nutritional support statement. One is to describe the relationship between the lack of certain nutrients and certain diseases. For example, the label of vitamin C can indicate that the lack of this ingredient will lead to scurvy. In the United States, "lack of certain nutrients" appears with similar explanations. The second is the so-called "structure function" statement

5 structure function statement. Describe the effect of total ingredients on the structure or function of a specific body, or what kind of health state can be obtained by consuming dietary supplements of the food. Like all label statements, the structure function statement must be true and non misleading
