美国拟将8种不易消化碳水化合物定义为膳食纤维

　　据美国食品药品管理局（FDA）消息，近日，美国FDA发布文件，拟将8种不易消化碳水化合物（NDCs）定义为膳食纤维。

　　据了解，美国FDA审查了最新科研数据和有关意见，提议将8种不易消化碳水化合物定义为膳食纤维，它们分别为：混合植物细胞壁纤维、阿糖基木聚糖、藻朊酸盐、菊粉及菊粉类果聚糖、高直链淀粉、低聚半乳糖、聚葡萄糖和抗性麦芽糊精。

　　The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today issued guidance and a supporting science review identifying eight additional non-digestible carbohydrates （NDCs） that the agency intends to propose to add to the list of non-digestible carbohydrates that meet the definition of “dietary fiber” that was established in the Nutrition Facts label final rule. The FDA also issued responses to citizen petitions requesting that additional NDCs be added to the definition of “dietary fiber.” These actions provide industry with additional clarity to updat their product labels and accurately declare dietary fiber content on the Nutrition Facts and Supplement Facts labels for consumers.
