5 HEALTH CLAIMS
5.1 BACKGROUND
* * * * *
Staking a Claim to Good Health. FDA and Science Stand Behind Health Claims on Foods
Paula Kurtzweil, FDA CONSUMER, SPECIAL ISSUE, Focus on Food Labeling
Health claims authorized by the Food and Drug Administration are one of several ways food labels can win the attention of health‐conscious consumers.
These claims alert shoppers to a product’s health potential by stating that certain foods or food substances—as part of an overall healthy diet—may reduce the risk of certain diseases. Examples include folic acid in breakfast cereals, fiber in fruits and vegetables, calcium in dairy products, and calcium or folic acid in some dietary supplements. But food and food substances can qualify for health claims only if they meet FDA requirements….
Although food manufacturers may use health claims to market their products, the intended purpose of health claims is to benefit consumers by providing information on healthful eating patterns that may help reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, dental cavities, or certain birth defects.
