65 65 The FDCA regulates a claim that, “characterizes the level of any nutrient” on the label or labeling of the food. FD&C Act § 403(r)(2). Neither “nutrient content claims” nor “nutrient descriptors” precisely convey the language in the Act. Nutrient content claims that only indicate the factual quantity of a nutrient without characterizing the level (high, low, and so forth) are outside the scope of § 403(r)(1)(A). Nutrient descriptors that only indicate the function of a nutrient without characterizing the level are also outside the scope of § 403(r)(1)(A). Therefore, I use the terminology “nutrient level descriptor.”
