Why do some supplements have wording that says: “This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease”?
Certain statements may be included on the label that give the manufacturer’s description of the role of the dietary supplement. These statements are not authorized by FDA. The manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that these statements are accurate and truthful. For this reason, the law says that if a dietary supplement label includes this information, it must also state that FDA has not evaluated the statement.
