What is the relationship between nutrient content claims and health claims?
Nutrient content claims simply itemize the quantity and type of ingredients contained in a product. Health claims are physiologic alterations which are attributed to those ingredients, such as "supports immune system". Of note is that most products also have the disclaimer on the label "statements have not been reviewed by the FDA." For this reason, these health claims are not allowed to make claims about treating specific diseases without scientific evidence. So while you may find claims about enhancing heart health, they can't claim to prevent a heart attack without studies and documentation.

Do health claims on food labels have to be pre-approved by the Food and Drug Administration?
Certain claims are permitted to be made for conventional foods and dietary supplements. "Health claims" are those that describe a relationship between a food, food component, or dietary supplement ingredient, and reducing risk of a disease or health-related condition. Health claims meet the SSA (Significant Scientific Agreement) standard and are specifically authorized by FDA. "Qualified health claims" do not meet the SSA standard and must be the subject of a letter of enforcement discretion from FDA stating that the agency does not object to its use when accompanied by a specific disclaimer. "Nutrient content claims" are explicit and implied claims that characterize the level of a nutrient in a food or dietary supplement, such as "high in fat," and "low in sodium." In order to make a nutrient content claim, the food must conform to the regulations that the specific claim. Whether it is permitted will be dependent upon the percent of the Daily Recommended Value or Recommended Daily Intake for that nutrient that is present per serving. Other criteria may apply as well, and additional disclaimers may be required to be declared in certain cases. "Structure/function" claims are those that describe the role of a nutrient or dietary ingredient intended to affect normal structure or function in humans, characterize the means by which a nutrient or dietary ingredient acts to maintain such structure or function, describe general well-being from consumption of a nutrient or dietary ingredient, or describe a benefit related to a nutrient deficiency disease (like vitamin C and scurvy). In order to make a structure/function claim, the manufacturer must possess substantiation and inform FDA within 30 days of marketing that the claim is being made. FDA does not review and approve structure/function claims.
