- wjb3 11mo agoA qualified health claim is a claim that has been reviewed and issued by the FDA. Upon a rigorous review of scientific evidence provided, the FDA will issue a ‘Letter of Enforcement Discretion’ for a “qualified health claim” when emerging evidence is credible and compelling enough to suggest a link between a certain food and a specific health benefit, in this case, yogurt and a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes. The FDA also imposes strict wording requirements on qualified health claims, both to reflect the strength of the scientific evidence supporting that claim and to convey any other necessary qualifications.
