WARNING LETTER

Florham Park, NJ 07932


Re: CFSAN-OC-10-09


Dear Mr. Schmidt:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reviewed the labels for the products in your Gerber Graduates Fruit Puffs line and the label of your Gerber 2nd Foods Carrots product, as well the labeling for these products on your website, www.gerber.com. Based on our review, we have concluded that these products are in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act). You can find the Act and regulations on FDA's website at www.fda.gov.

The products in your Gerber Graduates Fruit Puffs line are misbranded within the meaning of section 403(r)(1)(A) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 343(r)(1)(A)] because their labeling includes unauthorized nutrient content claims. Except for claims regarding the percentage of a vitamin or mineral for which there is an established Reference Daily Intake (RDI), a nutrient content claim may not be made for a food intended specifically for use by infants and children less than 2 years of age unless the claims is specifically provided for in parts 101, 105, or 107 of FDA regulations. 21 CFR 101.13(b)(3). Your Graduates Fruit Puffs products are specifically intended for infants and children under age 2. For example, the labeling indicates that the products are designed for the "crawler" stage of a child's life. The labeling for these products includes nutrient content claims such as "good source of iron, zinc, and vitamin E for infants and toddlers." The circumstances under which "good source" claims are permitted are defined in 21 CFR 101.54. That regulation does not allow such claims for foods intended specifically for infants and children under 2.

Your 2nd Foods Carrots product is misbranded within the meaning of section 403(r)(1)(A) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 343(r)(1)(A)] because its labeling includes unauthorized nutrient content claims. This product is also intended specifically for infants and children under the age of two. For example, its labeling states that the product is appropriate for a "sitter," and sitting is a developmental milestone that generally occurs by the age of one. The 2nd Foods Carrots product label bears the nutrient content claim "healthy" as part of the statement "As Healthy as Fresh," and nutrient content claims such as "Excellent Source ... of Vitamin A" and "No Added Sugar." These circumstances under which such claims are permitted are defined in 21 CFR 101.65(d), 21 CFR 101.54(b), and 21 CFR 101.60(c). However, these regulations do not allow the claim for products specifically intended for children under two years of age.

The above violations are not meant to be an all-inclusive list of deficiencies in your products or their labeling. It is your responsibility to ensure that your firm and all of your products are in compliance with the laws and regulations enforced by FDA. You should take prompt action to correct the violations. Failure to promptly correct these violations may result in regulatory actions without further notice, such as seizure and/or injunction.

You should take prompt action to correct these violations. Please respond to this letter within 15 days from receipt with the actions you plan to take in response to this letter, including an explanation of each step being taken to correct the current violations and prevent similar violations. Include any documentation necessary to show that correction has been achieved. If you cannot complete corrective action within fifteen working days, state the reason for the delay and the time within which you will complete the correction.

You should direct your written reply to Kathleen M. Lewis, Food and Drug Administration, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, 5100 Paint Branch Parkway, Office of Compliance (HFS-608), Division of Enforcement, College Park, Maryland 20740-3835.

WARNING LETTER



Re: CFSAN-OC-10-05

Dear Mr. Alford:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reviewed the labeling for several Nestle Juicy Juice products: Juicy Juice Brain Development Fruit Juice Beverage (Apple), Juicy Juice All-Natural 100% Juice Orange Tangerine, and Juicy Juice All-Natural 100% Juice Grape. Based on our review, we have concluded that these products are misbranded within the meaning of section 403 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) [21 USC 343] because their labeling deviates from the requirements of the Act and FDA regulations at Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

Your Juicy Juice Brain Development Fruit Juice Beverage product is misbranded within the meaning of section 403(r) of the Act [21 USC 343(r)] because its labeling includes unauthorized nutrient content claims. Except for statements that describe the percentage of a vitamin or mineral in relation to a Reference Daily Intake (RDI), a nutrient content claim cannot be made for a food intended for use by infants and children less than 2 years of age unless the claim is specifically provided for in parts 101, 105, or 107 of FDA regulations. 21 CFR 101.13(b)(3). This product is marketed specifically for children under two years of age, as indicated by the claim "Helps support brain development***In children under two years old," which appears on the product label. The label also bears the nutrient content claim "no sugar added." The circumstances under which a "no sugar added" claim is permitted are defined in 21 CFR 101.60(c). That regulation does not allow the claim for conventional food products intended for use in children under age 2. 21 CFR 101.60(c)(4). Therefore, the claim "no sugar added" misbrands your product.

On October 30, 2009. we also reviewed your website, http://www.juicyjuice.com. the address of which is listed on the Juicy Juice Brain Development Fruit Juice Beverage label. The labeling found on your website makes an additional unauthorized nutrient content claim, which
further misbrands the product. The website claims that Juicy Juice Brain Development Fruit Juice Beverage is "naturally lower in sugar." As noted above, except for statements that describe the percentage of a vitamin or mineral in relation to an RDI, no nutrient content claims can be made for a food intended specifically for use by infants and children less than 2 years of age unless specifically permitted by FDA regulations. 21 CFR 101.13(b)(3). The circumstances under which a "lower in sugar" claim is permitted are defined in 21 CFR 101.60(c)(5). That regulation does not allow the use of the claim for food products intended for use in children under age 2.

Additionally, we have reviewed the labeling of your Nestle Juicy Juice All Natural 100% Juice Orange Tangerine and Nestle Juicy Juice All Natural 100% Juice Grape products. These products are misbranded under section 403(a)(1) of the Act [21 USC 343(a)(1)] because their labels are misleading. The label of the Orange Tangerine product is designed to imply that the product is 100% orange/tangerine juice, and the label of the Grape product is designed to imply that product is 100% grape juice. The principal display panels identify the products as "Orange Tangerine" and "Grape," respectively, in large, bold lettering outlined in black; however, neither orange/tangerine juice nor grape juice is the predominant juice in the products.The statements "All Natural-100% Juice" in close proximity to the words "Orange Tangerine"or "Grape" and vignettes of oranges or grapes also may lead consumers to believe that the products are 100% orange/tangerine juice or 100% grape juice when, in fact, they are not. The separate statement at the base of the respective principal display panels, "Flavored juice blend from concentrate with other natural flavors & added ingredients," appears in a smaller font and white print on a colored background. The manner in which the latter statement is presented makes it less conspicuous and prominent than the other label statements and vignettes and therefore less likely to be read or understood by consumers at the time of purchase.

The above violations are not meant to be an all-inclusive list of deficiencies in your products or their labeling. It is your responsibility to ensure that all of your products are in compliance with the laws and regulations enforced by FDA. You should take prompt action to correct the violations. Failure to promptly correct these violations may result in regulatory actions without further notice, such as seizure and/or injunction.

You should take prompt action to correct these violations. Please respond to this letter within 15 days from receipt with the actions you plan to take in response to this letter, including an explanation of each step being taken to correct the current violations and prevent similar violations. Include any documentation necessary to show that correction has been achieved. If you cannot complete corrective action within fifteen working days, state the reason for the delay and the time within which you will complete the correction.

You should direct your written reply to Quyen Tien, Food and Drug Administration, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, 5100 Paint Brooch Parkway, Office of Compliance (HFS608), Division of Enforcement, College Park, Maryland 20740-3835.
