    Dear Community,

    I recently joined the RAPS community and are already thankful for all useful and interesting information shared. Thank you!

    This time I reach out for advice on the classification of a food/supplement product on the US market:

    • Do you know whether the FDA has expressed a maximum energy content for dietary supplements (i.e. is it possible to market products with around 140 kcal/day as dietary supplements)?
    • Do you know where to find more information and guidelines from the FDA on the food category "Food for special dietary use" (21 CFR, part 105)?
    Thanks a lot in advance for your valuable insight!

    Kind Regards
    Elin af Klinteberg
