FDA Expects Few Claim Notifications

September 17, 2008: 03:57 PM EST
In a Notice, the US Food and Drug Administration estimates that it will receive only one nutrient content claim notification and two health claim notifications per year. These would require 1,150 hours of agency time to process – 250 hours for the nutrient content claim, and 450 hours for each health claim. Food manufacturers wanting to market foods with label claims based on an authoritative statement of a scientific body of the US Government or the National Academy of Sciences need to notify FDA of the use of these claims 120 days before marketing their products.
