FDA reopens until Jan. 19 comment period on prudence of listing trans fatty acids in "Nutrition Facts" labeling and whether terms "reduced trans fat" and "reduced saturated and trans fat" should be better defined in nutrient content claims for foods, including dietary supplements, according to recent Federal Register notice. Proposed rule was published by agency Nov. 17, 1999 (1"The Tan Sheet" Nov. 15, 1999, In Brief)
