Your Favorite Cereal May No Longer Be 'Healthy' Under New FDA Guidance - Food and Wine

• FDA GMP online training courses, programs, and classes by SkillsPlus International Inc.

According to the article:

"The FDA has proposed a change to the definition of "healthy," and breakfast cereal brands, in particular, could suffer.  ...

"Under the proposed definition," the FDA wrote, "more foods that are part of a healthy dietary pattern and recommended by the Dietary Guidelines would be eligible to use the claim on their labeling, including nuts and seeds, higher fat fish (such as salmon), certain oils and water."

However, as the FDA admits, the changes could also force some foods to drop their healthy claims — and one example the agency has tossed around multiple times is breakfast cereal, in large part due to the proposed definition's increased emphasis on added sugars."

Injectable Skin Lightening and Skin Bleaching Products May Be Unsafe - FDA.gov

• Trusted FDA GMP online training courses and programs taught by SkillsPlus International Inc. 

According to the FDA:

"Consumers need to beware of products to lighten or whiten their complexion. These products, which include both injectable skin whitening and skin bleaching products, are potentially unsafe and ineffective, and might contain unknown harmful ingredients or contaminants.

Injectable skin whitening products are marketed for injection into a vein or muscle or under the skin. They are sold online and in some retail outlets and health spas. They often promise to lighten the skin, correct uneven skin tone, and reduce blemishes. Some products even claim to treat conditions such as liver disorders and Parkinson’s disease.

Although the average consumer might not assume so, these products are unapproved new drugs whose sales are not condoned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA has not approved any injectable drugs for skin whitening or lightening."
