Fed Regist. 2008 May 1;73(85):23947-53.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending its regulation authorizing a health claim on the relationship between soluble fiber from certain foods and risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). The amendment exempts certain foods from the nutrient content requirement of "low fat." The exemption will apply if the food exceeds the "low fat" requirement due to fat content derived from whole oat sources. The amendment expands the use of this health claim to some whole oat products that are currently ineligible for the health claim. FDA is taking this action in response to a petition submitted by the Quaker Oats Co.
美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）正在修订其法规，该法规授权就某些食物中的可溶性纤维与冠心病（CHD）风险之间的关系提出健康声明。此次修订免除了某些食物“低脂”的营养成分要求。如果食物因全燕麦来源的脂肪含量而超过“低脂”要求，则该豁免将适用。此次修订将这一健康声明的适用范围扩大到了一些目前不符合该健康声明条件的全燕麦产品。FDA采取这一行动是回应桂格燕麦公司提交的一份请愿书。
