Label Claims Blakeley Denkinger, MPH, RD, CSSD Nutrition Assessment and Evaluation Team, Nutrition Programs Staff Office of Nutrition, Labeling, and Dietary Supplements Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition Food and Drug Administration

Types of Claims Health Claims –Authorized (Significant Scientific Agreement, SSA) –Qualified Health Claim –Food Drug and Modernization Act (FDAMA) Structure/Function Claims Nutrient Content Claims –FDAMA

Health Claim “Health Claim” is an expressed or implied statement in food labeling about the relationship of a food substance to a disease or health- related condition. (21 U.S.C. 343(r)(1)(B); 21 CFR (a)(1)) Not just “any claim about health” Require Pre-approval by FDA Can be used on conventional foods and dietary supplements

Selected Authorized Health Claims (Meet a significant scientific agreement standard) Calcium and osteoporosis Dietary fat and cancer Dietary saturated fat and cholesterol and heart disease Fiber containing grain products, fruits and vegetables (certain foods) and cancer Fruits, vegetables and grain products (soluble fiber) and heart disease Non-cariogenic sweeteners and dental caries Soy protein and heart disease Plant stanols / sterols and heart disease

What About Claims Not Meeting SSA Standard? Qualified Health Claims are based on scientific evidence that is credible but that does not meet the SSA standard include qualifying language to prevent consumers from being misled about the level of support for the claim considered under FDA’s exercise of enforcement discretion (not authorized by regulation)

QHCs: Heart Disease –Omega 3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) –Monounsaturated fatty acids from olive oil –Unsaturated fatty acids from corn oil –Walnuts –Nuts –B vitamins and vascular disease QHCs: Cancer –Calcium and colon/rectal cancer –Green tea and breast/prostate cancer –Selenium and certain cancers –Antioxidant vitamins and certain cancers –Tomato and certain cancers Qualified Health Claims

Model Claim Statements (QHC) Monounsaturated Fatty Acids from Olive Oil and Coronary Heart Disease (Oct. 2004) “Limited and not conclusive scientific evidence suggests that eating about 2 tablespoons (23 grams) of olive oil daily may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease due to the monounsaturated fat in olive oil. To achieve this possible benefit, olive oil is to replace a similar amount of saturated fat and not increase the total number of calories you eat in a day. One serving of this product contains [x] grams of olive oil.”

Structure/Function Claims Describe the role of a nutrient or dietary ingredient intended to affect normal structure or function in humans –“Calcium builds strong bones” –“Lycopene promotes prostate health” May characterize the means by which a nutrient or dietary ingredient acts to maintain such structure or function –“Antioxidants maintain cell integrity” –“Fiber maintains bowel regularity”
