Abstract
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending its food labeling regulations to include the term ``plus'' as a synonym for the term ``added.'' This action is in response to FDA's decision to grant a petition for the synonym filed by Nestle USA-Beverage Division Inc. FDA concludes that the term ``plus'' is a clear and unambiguous synonym for ``more,'' and is consistent with the terms ``added'' and ``extra.''
