What is it all about?
In 1990, the USFDA gained Regulatory authority over health claims through the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (NLEA), requiring food and dietary supplement manufacturers to adhere to strict standards for nutrient-related claims. The NLEA introduced the Significant Scientific Agreement (SSA) standard for USFDA authorization of health claims. Subsequently, the FDA Modernization Act (FDAMA) allowed other US government scientific bodies to determine SSAs, relieving the FDA from reviewing certain health claims. This dynamic regulatory landscape is vital for ensuring accurate and compliant product labeling. This webinar offers a comprehensive overview of USFDA health claims on labeling, covering the latest guidance and best practices.
In this webinar, our industry experts will provide a comprehensive overview of USFDA health claims on labeling, including the latest guidance and best practices for manufacturers and industry professionals.
The webinar will be hosted by Marin Vrhovac and presented by Francesco Digianni. During the webinar, our experts will discuss the following:
- Definitions and Categories of Claims.
- Types of Health Claims.
- The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (NLEA) Authorized Health Claims.
- Notification of a Health Claim or Nutrient Content Claim (Authoritative Statement).
- Interim Procedures for Qualified Health Claims.
- Prohibited Claims.
- Freyr’s Competencies and Advantages.
