Shocking fact: Every year, more than 8,000 shipments of food products are intercepted by the U.S. Customs due to improper labeling, with an average loss of $$67,000 per shipment! As a food exporter, do you understand the stringent requirements of the FDA for food labeling claims?
The FDA divides food labeling claims into three broad categories.Mastering these rules is the key to successfully entering the U.S. market for your product:
🔍 Nutrition Facts Statement
These are statements about specific nutritional characteristics of a product, such as "high fiber" or "low sodium".IMPORTANT WARNING: Every nutrition claim must meet the FDA's strict numerical criteria! For example, products claiming to be "sugar-free" must contain less than 0.5 grams of sugar per serving, or else they may be subject to recall.
🔍 Health Statement
Such statements associate foods or their ingredients with a reduced risk of disease.Shocker: Only 12 health claims are fully endorsed by the FDA! The rest must be labeled with qualifiers such as "limited scientific evidence".An unauthorized health claim can expose your brand to up to a million dollars in litigation!
🔍 Structure/Function Statement
Describe how nutrients affect normal body function, e.g. "Calcium helps build strong bones".Key Note: This type of statement must be accompanied by a disclaimer that clearly states, "This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA"!
