In Brief: Sodium, calcium, magnesium and potassium content labeling

Executive Summary

Sodium, calcium, magnesium and potassium content labeling: NDMA asks for a 60-day extension of the comment period for the final rule on sodium content labeling and the proposed rule on calcium, magnesium and potassium content labeling "because of the potentially far-reaching nature of these proposed and final rules" in a June 18 letter. The comment period is slated to end July 22 ("The Tan Sheet" April 29, p. 8). NDMA also is requesting a "feedback" meeting on the rules. In a same-day letter, NDMA asks FDA to clarify whether the sodium content final rule relates to "rectal laxatives" or to "all OTC rectal products"...
