Question

1 — food and drug administration
learning objective: indicate how supplements are regulated, including the role the fda plays.
under which act were phrases like \low fat\ and \light\ standardized?
a.) the dietary health and supplement act
b.) the nutrition labeling and education act
c.) the cosmetic labeling act
d.) the pure foods and drugs act

Explanation:

The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (NLEA) standardized nutrient content claims (like "low fat", "light") on food labels. The Dietary Health and Supplement Act is not the correct act for this; the Cosmetic Labeling Act pertains to cosmetics, not food labeling; the Pure Foods and Drugs Act focused on preventing misbranding/adulteration, not standardizing these specific claims.

Answer:

b.) The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act
