2 The claim is not misleading (FDCA § 403(b)).

3 There is no disqualifying level of a nutrient (see section 5.2.3).

4 There is no substance at an inappropriate level as specified in a provision of an authorized claim.

5 The food has nutritional value (see the jelly bean rule below).

6 The food is not represented as for infants or toddlers under the age of two unless specifically authorized by regulation.
