The need for this collection of information derives from the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) regulation of the labeling of food products under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (NLEA). NLEA regulations establish general requirements for voluntary health claims, i.e., statements in food labeling that characterize the relationship between a food substance and a disease or health-related condition (21 CFR 101.14(a)(1)). Under the petition process for new health claims (21 CFR 101.70), petitioners must submit scientific evidence supporting a proposed health claim to FDA for review. If FDA determines that there is significant scientific agreement (SSA) among experts that the proposed health claim is supported by the totality of publicly available evidence, FDA issues a regulation authorizing the claim (21 CFR 101.14(c)-(d)). Prior research has not investigated how consumers interpret labeling claims using phrases such as "certain cancers" and "anticarcinogenic effects," or whether qualifiers, such as a listing of site-specific cancers, would eliminate potential deception. The agency therefore proposes an experimental study to examine consumer reactions to health claims using those phrases, with and without various disclaimers. The objective of this proposed study is to collect quantitative data to examine consumer interpretations of two dietary supplement labeling claims, "selenium may reduce the risk of certain cancers" and "selenium may produce anticarcinogenic effects in the body," with and without various disclaimers.
