Question

For the Nutrition label I created below, for gluten free cookies. What is an FDA approved health claim or qualified health claim, or FDA approved nutrient content claim for the label?

If you expect to have to use a disclosure statement for a nutrient claim, you’ll want to provide an explanation. You must explain why your claims will be useful to marketing your product. It is possible that you do not think it is a good idea to make any claim. If this is the case, create the claims that you think are least worst for your product and explain why they could possibly be useful as well as why you do not think making claims is a good idea.
