Executive Summary
STRUCTURE/FUNCTION CLAIMS PROPOSAL OVERHAUL AS GUIDANCE sought by the Council for Responsible Nutrition in Aug. 11 comments on FDA's April 29 proposed rule on the scope of the dietary supplement claims. "The agency has seriously misinterpreted the intent of Congress in establishing the category of structure/function claims," CRN asserts, urging FDA "to substantially revise the current proposal and to consider issuing the revision as a guidance document rather than a formal rule."
