Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 130 / Monday, July 9, 2007 / Notices On December 20, 2002, the agency announced its intention to extend Pearson to health claims for conventional foods (67 FR 78002). Recognizing the need for an approach for scientific evaluations for qualified health claims, the task force on ‘‘Consumer Health Information for Better Nutrition’’ was formed. As part of the task force’s final report,1 FDA developed an interim evidence-based review system that the agency intended to use to evaluate the substance/disease relationships that are subjects of qualified health claims. In reviewing both the December 22, 1999, guidance document and the 2003 task force report, it became apparent to the agency that the components of the scientific review process for an SSA health claim and qualified health claim are very similar. Because of the similarity between the scientific reviews for SSA and qualified health claims, FDA intends to generally use the approach set out in this draft guidance for evaluating the scientific evidence in petitions that are submitted for an SSA health claim or qualified health claim. The primary purpose of this document is to set out FDA’s current thinking on the process for evaluating the scientific evidence for a health claim, the meaning of the SSA standard in section 403(r)(3) of the act and § 101.14(c), and credible scientific evidence to support a qualified health claim. This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practice regulations (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the agency’s current thinking on the scientific review process for SSA and qualified health claims. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 This draft guidance refers to previously approved collections of information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES 1See guidance entitled ‘‘Interim Evidence-based Ranking System for Scientific Data,’’ July 10, 2003 (https://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/hclmgui4.html).

The collections of information in §§ 101.14 and 101.70 have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0381. III.
