Each accepted qualified health claim includes specific standards that a food must meet in addition to the general requirements for the claim. For example, a food with a heart claim may not exceed disqualifying levels of saturated fat and so forth. Some of the qualifications regarding the strength and weakness of the evidence are elaborate; for instance, the sample qualified claim below:

One study suggests that consuming tomatoes does not reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer, but one weaker, more limited study suggests that consuming tomatoes may reduce this risk. Based on these studies, FDA concludes that it is highly unlikely that tomatoes reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer.⁴¹
