        <RULE_TITLE>Food Labeling: Trans Fatty Acids in Nutrition Labeling: Consumer Research To Consider Nutrient Content and Health Claims and Possible Footnote or Disclosure Statements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on July 11, 2003 (68 FR 41507), to solicit information and data that potentially could be used to establish new nutrient content claims about trans fatty acids; to establish qualifying criteria for trans fat in current nutrient content claims for saturated fat and cholesterol, lean and extra lean claims, and health claims that contain a message about cholesterol-raising lipids; and, in addition, to establish disclosure and disqualifying criteria to help consumers make heart-healthy food choices. The Agency also requested comments on whether it should consider statements about trans fat, either alone or in combination with saturated fat and cholesterol, as a footnote in the Nutrition Facts panel or as a disclosure statement in conjunction with claims to enhance consumers' understanding about such cholesterol-raising lipids and how to use the information to make healthy food choices. Information and data obtained from comments and from consumer studies that will be conducted by FDA also may be used to help draft a proposed rule that would establish criteria for certain nutrient content or health claims or require the use of a footnote, or other labeling approach, about one or more cholesterol-raising lipids in the Nutrition Facts panel to assist consumers in maintaining healthy dietary practices.]]></ABSTRACT>
