Companies Face Fines For Mislabeling Health Foods

[Guest guest]

Mislabeling is taken seriously by government regulatory agencies. A few

months back, there was a discussion of the accuracy of the label on a

calcium supplement sold by a major vitamin and mineral supplier to the

bariatric community. I was all but stoned for bringing this up. I was

on a " witch hunt " was one of the nicer things said about me. I filed a

formal complaint with the FDA. Although I have not purchased another

bottle of the product, I have been advised that the label has been

changed to now show that each capsule contains only 1/3 the amount of

calcium the other labeling information seemed to claim it did.
