FDA Authorizes Qualified Health Claim for Canola Oil
[2006/10/08] [U.S. Canola Association]
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.
