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.
