FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) will conduct a roundtable discussion with stakeholders on December 12, 2008, and is tentatively scheduled to “communicate FDA’s nutrition activities” and provide status updates on functional foods, health claims, evidence-based review guides, Critical Path Project on Biomarkers for Use in Health Claims, front-of-pack labeling, and sodium status, among other matters. According to CFSAN, the format will consist of a panel of experts led by the agency’s director, with remarks from David Acheson, FDA Associate Commissioner, and a question and answer session. See CFSAN Constituent Update, November 7, 2008.
