The FDA has finally responded to the petition from Barry Callebaut following a four-year long review. "After reviewing the petition and other evidence related to the proposed health claim, the FDA determined that there is very limited credible scientific evidence for a qualified health claim for cocoa flavanols in high flavanol cocoa powder and a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease," the agency said on Feb. 3.
The agency provided four examples of QHCs that could be used in the label of conventional foods, as a result. "Very limited scientific evidence suggests that consuming cocoa flavanols in high flavanol cocoa powder, which contains at least 4 percent of naturally conserved cocoa flavanols, may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease," one of the approved claims reads.
