The FDA's warning letter to General Mills<\/a> this week concerning its unsubstantiated label claims about Cheerios and cholesterol came as a pleasant surprise to me, as well as a sign of what more is to come. <\/p>\n Since the neighborhood Safeway supermarket is practically my second office, I certainly know my way around a label or two.

Under previous administrations, food companies have been able to make plenty of health claims with only, say, one small clinical trial for substantiation.<\/p>\n Not anymore.<\/p>\n
