The FDA will be publishing a new Health Claim Guide, "Evidence-Based Review System for the Scientific Evaluation of Health Claims" next week in Federal Register. The new system will be the FDA standard now for Significant Scientific Agreement (SSA) health claims. This update will replace the previous guidance which was issued in 1999, "Guidance for Industry: Significant Scientific Agreement in the Review of Health Claims for Conventional Foods and Dietary Supplements."

Additional, the FDA has released an explanation of their position on SSA health claims for supplements. The FDA is accepting public comments on both releases.
