Sep 09, 2004

Nutra Ingredients USA

The FDA said that foods containing eiscosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) omega-3 fatty acids can now carry a qualified health claim stating that they may help to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD).
"Coronary heart disease is a significant health problem that causes 500,000 deaths annually in the US," said Dr. Lester Crawford, acting FDA commissioner. "This health claim should help consumers to improve their health by identifying foods that contain these important compounds."
