Executive Summary
PROPOSED "SUPPLEMENT FACTS" BOX CALLED INAPPROPRIATE FOR HERBALS and non-nutrient products by Loren Israelsen, executive director of the Utah Natural Products Alliance (UNPA), in a recommendation to the Commission on Dietary Supplement Labels March 8 in Salt Lake City. Although describing the "Nutrition Facts" box as a success, Israelsen said applying the format to herbal products could be a "big mistake" because the purchasers of such products are "different consumers...looking for different information."
