Sugar Free Chocolates

The FDA has published a letter regarding "sugar free" claims from manufacturers and the labeling requirements associated with these claims.

The FDA expresses concern that chocolate manufacturers do show the information about the absence of sugar; BUT do not display the required disclaimer when a product is "low" or "reduced in" calories. They consider accurate claims about the absence of sugar a high priority, because of the obesity epidemic.
