- Appeals Court Rules for FDA in Ephedra Ban: Overturns Lower Court Finding in Nutraceutical v. von Eschenbach
A three-judge panel of the 10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled yesterday in favor of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in a case that had challenged the agency's 2004 prohibition of any level of ephedrine in dietary supplements.

- FDA Authorizes Qualified Health Claim for Canola Oil
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has announced that canola oil is now eligible to bear a qualified health claim on its ability to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) due to its unsaturated fat content. The claim, which canola oil bottlers and makers of eligible products* may use on labels, states:
Limited and not conclusive scientific evidence suggests that eating about 1 1/2 tablespoons (19 grams) of canola oil daily may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease due to the unsaturated fat content in canola oil. To achieve this possible benefit, canola oil is to replace a similar amount of saturated fat and not increase the total number of calories you eat in a day. One serving of this product contains [x] grams of canola oil.

MINNEAPOLIS – Cargill has announced that it has expanded the GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status of its Oliggo-Fiber® brand of inulin and oligofructose products through an independent evaluation by a qualified scientific expert. The expansion gives food and beverage manufacturers the freedom to add these beneficial ingredients to an even broader variety of consumer-friendly food brands.
The expanded GRAS status permits the Oliggo-Fiber inulin and oligofructose line of products for general use in foods at levels consistent with current good manufacturing practice. Oliggo-Fiber inulin was previously deemed GRAS by an expert panel of independent and qualified scientific professionals for use in a list of specified foods, but the “general food use” approval opens doors for other food formulation opportunities. Oliggo-Fiber inulin, known as the “invisible fiber,” can be incorporated into almost any food or beverage without affecting taste or texture. Oligofructose is a subgroup of inulin.
Inulin and oligofructose are naturally occurring dietary components that are becoming increasingly important as Americans’ desire to boost dietary fiber intake and calcium absorption grows. Research indicates that inulin may enhance dietary calcium absorption, particularly among preteens and postmenopausal women. Inulin also is recognized as a prebiotic ingredient that supports the natural, healthful bacteria in the lower GI tract.
“The expanded GRAS status of Cargill’s Oliggo-Fiber inulin and oligofructose products generates an advantage for manufacturers to create foods with mass-market appeal that address consumer health concerns, such as digestive health and bone health,” said Steve Snyder, vice president sales and marketing, Cargill Health & Food Technologies.
