Answer: describes the relationship between food, food component,
and/or dietary supplement ingredient with a disease or heart
condition risk
- FDA regulated
◉ Structure/Function Claims
Answer: Describes the role of the nutrient or ingredient in
maintaining normal structure and function in humans
- not FDA regulated, based on manufacturers review
- contains a disclaimer

Answer: - Standards of identity
- Natural
◉ Standards of Identity

- supplemental (serving size, amount per serving, percent daily
value)
- FDA say not intended to treat effect of diseases, but structure/
