The reference law of dietary supplement-Omega 3 in American
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently forbid nutrition supplements maker claiming that their products contain high omega-3 fatty acids. Because the agency hasn’t set a baseline level for those acids.
In 2007, the FDA published a proposed rule, in which the FDA banned certain nutrient content claims for foods containing EPA or DHA. The American Herbal Products Association explains that claiming the products are high in DHA or EPA and synonyms such as “rich in” and “excellent source source of” are prohibited to be printed in the food labels.
The FDA responded that, according to the federal Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act, claiming some products containing high nutrient content are allowed only for nutrients for which a reference level to which the claim refers has been set. There are not yet any such levels set for DHA, EPA .
