Abstract
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending its regulations to: Define the term ``high potency'' as a nutrient content claim; define nutrient content claims using the term ``antioxidant'' (e.g., ``good source of antioxidants,'' ``high in antioxidants,'' ``more antioxidants''); and to correct an omission pertaining to the use of ``sugar free'' claims on dietary supplements. FDA is taking these actions to provide for the use of additional nutrient content claims on labels or in labeling in accordance with provisions of the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990.
