Executive Summary
FOLIC ACID HEALTH CLAIMS SPECIFIC TO DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS ALLOWED under a finalized proposed rule slated to appear in the Federal Register the week of Jan. 3. The notice finalizes FDA's Oct. 14 proposed rule that tentatively authorized a rotate health claim in the labeling of supplements and foods recommended for use by women of child-bearing age for the prevention of neural tube defects (NTDs) in newborns. FDA emphasized, however, that the soon-to-be published rule "is deemed to be a final regulation only with respect to dietary supplements."
