Qualified Health Claims

Qualified Health Claims are statements on food or supplement labels that suggest a relationship between a substance and a health benefit, but with less evidence than is required for “authorized” claims. These claims must include a disclaimer indicating that the evidence is limited or not conclusive. They aim to inform consumers about potential benefits while acknowledging that more research is needed. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates these claims to ensure they are truthful and not misleading, helping consumers make informed choices about their health.
