FDA Claims Barley Helps Make Healthy Heart
The New York Times has printed an article which shows the FDA has indicated a new healthy heart food, barley.
Labels on whole barley and dry milled barley products, including flakes, grits, flour and meal, are expected to start making the claim, the Food and Drug Administration said Friday in announcing its ruling. The claim is identical to that already made on many oat products.
The FDA estimates a quarter of the hot breakfast cereals, and another 5 percent of the cold cereals, sold in the United States will start boasting their health benefits. The breakfast cereal market is worth $7.1 billion a year, according to the FDA. [FDA Claims Barley Helps Make Healthy Heart]
