The Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA) amended the FD&C Act to allow nutrient content claims not defined by FDA in regulation if the claim was recognized by a scientific body of the U.S. government in a published authoritative statement.⁹⁸ These scientific bodies include the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Academy of Science.

To use such a claim, a notification to FDA must be made of the intention to use the claim at least 120 days before distributing food with the claim. The FDA must reject or recognize the claim within 120 days.
