Title: Nutrient Labeling and Ingredient Labeling; Dietary Supplements 
Abstract: On January 4, 1994, FDA published final rules relative to nutrition labeling, nutrient content claims and health claims for dietary supplements. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) was enacted on October 25, 1994, modifying the provisions for labeling of dietary supplements. FDA has initiated rulemaking to modify its regulations for dietary supplements accordingly. One proposal would modify the nutrition labeling and ingredient declaration requirements. A second proposal would provide for the use of nutrient content claims and health claims on dietary supplements and establish procedures for the use of a disclaimer to accompany statements of nutritional support. A third proposal would define the terms "high potency" and "antioxidant." These three proposals were published in the Federal Register on December 28, 1995. An ANPRM was published in February 1997 seeking public comments on issues related to the establishment of current good manufacturing practices for dietary supplements.
