[Docket Nos. 00P-1275 and 00P-1276]


Food Labeling: Health Claims; Plant Sterol/Stanol Esters and 
Coronary Heart Disease; Correction

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Interim final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is correcting an 
interim final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of September 
8, 2000 (65 FR 54686). The interim final rule authorized the use in 
food labeling of health claims on the association between plant sterol/
stanol esters and reduced risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), pending 
consideration of public comment and publication of a final regulation. 
The interim final rule was published with inadvertent errors. This 
document corrects those errors.

DATES: Effective September 8, 2000.

Safety and Applied Nutrition (HFS-832), 200 C St. SW., Washington, DC
