What is the FDA’s position on “Low Carb”?
The FDA is in the process of setting standards by which all products will need to comply to be called “low carb”. YC established FDA compliance for sugar free and no sugar added products long before “low carb” became a trend. These standards are much more restrictive than the proposed low carb requirements being evaluated. Therefore YC products are already, by their nature, low carb and responsible to the diabetic community. Not all low carb products are sugar free or no sugar added, as currently defined by the FDA and therefore safe for diabetics. (Remember, even raisins are one of the highest sources of sugar!
