Executive Summary
NLEA LABELING RULES NECESSARY TO ADVANCE "SUBSTANTIAL GOVERNMENT INTEREST," FDA maintained in an Aug. 11 brief filed in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. The brief was filed in response to a recent suit challenging the constitutionality of FDA's Jan. 4 final rules on dietary supplement health claims developed under the Nutrition Labeling & Education Act. Defending its rules, the agency's brief states that "because such restrictions are no greater than necessary to further a substantial government interest, they are permissible under the First Amendment."
