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:

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.

Designation Assures Customers of Safety for Use in Food and Beverages
Florida, NY, August 10, 2006 –Hi-Fil® Lutein products, manufactured by Industrial Organica and distributed exclusively by Pharmline Inc., has attained self-affirmed GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status, through an independent evaluation by an expert panel of scientists. This designation permits the incorporation of Hi-Fil in a variety of foods and beverages.
Industrial Organica (IOSA), a leading manufacturer of a patented line of lutein and zeaxanthin products marketed under the Hi-Fil label, has been producing carotenoids in their cGMP facility since 1966. Sensing a market demand, IOSA conducted a review by an independent panel of scientific experts to determine the feasibility of Hi-Fil Lutein in food and beverage products applications. After comprehensive review, the panel unanimously agreed to award GRAS status, affirming the safety of the ingredient as an additive.
Greg Berthomieu, business development manager at Pharmline Inc. believes the GRAS determination, along with the pre-existing kosher approval of Hi-Fil Lutein products, significantly increases the market for this ingredient. “The aging population concerned with maintaining an active lifestyle has a high level of awareness about the benefits of lutein. The ability to safely add this ingredient and feature it in cereals, energy and sports drinks, energy bars, yogurts and other food and beverages, will drive consumer demand for these products,” said Mr. Berthomieu.
Research has demonstrated the important potential roles of lutein and zeaxanthin in maintaining healthy eyes. Studies suggest that these compounds may reduce the risk of age-related eyesight problems, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts.
Pharmline Inc., is the exclusive distributor of Hi-Fil Lutein products. All popular Hi-Fil products are warehoused in Pharmline’s state-of-the-art facility in Florida, NY with quick delivery available only a few days from order date.
