FDA Releases Guidance Document Regarding Policing of Natural Health

[Guest guest]

Hey y'all,

 

This is what all the humma-humma was about. Not quite the same info

as that which was put forward by some " Send Me Some Money " scare mongers.

" The FDA has released a new directive that is causing major concern in

the natural health community.

 

Although the document does not specifically propose any new federal

laws beyond those already in place, the OCA and our allies are keeping

a close eye on what this directive might mean in terms of future

proposed regulations.

 

Specifically, the FDA's guidance statement elaborates on current

regulations that state that any product, food, or supplement making

health claims must be carefully policed by the FDA. This has been a

longtime FDA rule. Notably, the document suggests that foods such as

vegetable juices making health claims must undergo federal monitoring.

Because this is a " guidance directive, " rather than proposed

legislation, the OCA is not currently calling for a mass letter

writing campaign. But we do encourage organic and alternative health

consumers to learn more about this directive, to offer individual

comments or queries to the FDA, and to remain vigilant. "
