Benecol yogurt

California regulators reject a request to allow the sale of Benecol-containing yogurt in the state. A decision was due Jan. 20. In denying the petition filed by dairy products manufacturer Super Store Industries on behalf of McNeil Consumer Health, the Department of Food & Agriculture cites the "lack of an adequate definition supported by evidence for the term 'functional dietary food ingredient' contained in the proposed temporary standard." The decision will be published in a future issue of the California Regulatory Notice Register
