Food Labeling: FDA Needs to Reassess Its Approach to Protecting Consumers from False or Misleading Claims
Author: Lisa ShamesPublisher: DIANE Publishing
ISBN: 1437980015
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 60
Book Description
FDA oversees federal requirements to prohibit false or misleading food labels; the FTC enforces the prohibition against false or misleading advertising. By statute, health claims on food labels must have significant scientific agreement, but in 2002, in response to a court decision, FDA decided to allow qualified health claims with less scientific support. Structure/function claims refer to a food's effect on body structure or function and are also used on food. This study of FDA's implementation of qualified health claims for food examined: (1) the results of FDA's efforts to allow the use of qualified health claims and oversight of these claims; and (2) consumers' understanding of the claims. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand publication.

Book Description
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversees federal requirements to prohibit false or misleading food labels; the Federal Trade Commission enforces the prohibition against false or misleading advertising. By statute, health claims on food labels must have significant scientific agreement, but in 2002, in response to a court decision, FDA decided to allow qualified health claims with less scientific support. Structure/function claims refer to a foods effect on body structure or function and are also used on food. Congress directed GAO to study FDAs implementation of qualified health claims for food. GAO examined (1) the results of FDAs efforts to allow the use of qualified health claims and oversight of these claims and (2) consumers understanding of the claims. GAO also examined FDAs oversight of structure/function claims. GAO reviewed FDA documents and consumer studies and interviewed stakeholders from health, medical, industry, and consumer groups.
