Toddler snack makes protein & probiotic claims

Details

Created on 03, April, 2019

The package for a snack developed for toddlers claims it contains "all 9 essential amino acids" and "the daily recommended dose of probiotics."

In order to make a nutrient claim for protein (which they are doing), the nutrition panel must show the % Daily Value for protein (not just the grams of protein), one serving must provide at least 10% of that DV, and the quantity of all those amino acids needs to be shown as well. None of those criteria is met.

Additionally, there is no "daily recommended dose of probiotics."
