‘Wrong Type Of Expert’ Advised FTC On Phillip’s Colon Health Claims – CRN
• By Elizabeth Crawford
FTC’s request that Bayer support claims for Phillip’s Colon Health probiotic supplement with RCTs would set a precedent that would invalidate most structure/function claims, CRN argues, saying FTC’s interpretation of competent and reliable evidence for structure/function claims disregards a wealth of scientific data.
The Federal Trade Commission request that Bayer HealthCare LLC support claims for Phillip’s Colon Health probiotic supplement with randomized, placebo-controlled trials rests on advice from “the wrong type of expert,” the Council for Responsible Nutrition argues.
Attorneys for the trade group also say in an amicus brief filed in the U.S
