22 Jul 2020 --- The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not intend to object to the use of certain qualified health claims regarding consuming cranberry products and a reduced risk of recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) in healthy women. The agency announced the news today in a letter of enforcement discretion in response to a health claim petition submitted by Ocean Spray Cranberries. The company requested the US FDA to authorize the health claim regarding the link, however, the agency deemed the scientific evidence insufficient. In light of this, Ocean Spray agreed to have the petition evaluated as a qualified health claim petition.
