Nutrient Content Claims
“Good source” claim = 10+% DV = 2.5 g total dietary fiber per serving
= 2.8 g Fibersol®-2 as is per serving (assumes Fibersol-2 is sole source
of dietary fiber)
“Excellent source” claim = 20+% DV = 5.0 g total dietary fiber per serving = 5.6 g Fibersol-2 per serving (assumed Fibersol-2 is sole source of dietary fiber)
In support of nutrient content claims, factors such as the amount of total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium in the finished food must be taken into account to allow a claim.
Structure/Function Claims
In support of structure/function claims, relating to the inclusion of Fibersol-2 digestive resistant maltodextrin in products, typically, a minimum 6.0+ g Fibersol-2 as is per serving is needed to reference back to existing and ongoing clinical research. Factors such as amount of total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium in the finished food to which Fibersol-2 is added must be taken into account to allow a claim. Customers assume all final responsibility for claim support of their product.
*Fibersol-2 digestion resistant maltodextrin is a dietary fiber. This classification is consistent with both the American Association of Cereal Chemists’ and the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences’ (NAS) definitions of dietary fiber. In both cases, Fibersol-2 digestion resistant maltodextrin is classified as “resistant maltodextrin,” and in both cases, “resistant maltodextrin” is classified as a dietary fiber.
** In April 2001, AOAC formally approved analytical methodology (“Determination of Total Dietary Fiber and Resistant Maltodextrin in Select Foods by Combination of Enzyme-Gravimetric and LC,” AOAC method #2001.03), which measures digestion resistant maltodextrin |
