Example: maltodextrin (dietary fiber, Fibersol®-2)
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.
