New Era at the FDA
- 1994 Dietary Supplement Health Education Act (DSHEA)
- 1999 Pearson v. Shalala
- 2003--FDA undertook initiatives to improve consumer information with the goal of "smarter decisions about the foods they eat."
- "Recent court decisions have clarified the need to provide for health claims based on somewhat settled science rather than just on the standards of significant scientific agreement, as long as the claims do not mislead the consumer."
