title: Regulatory issues of functional foods, feeds, and nutraceuticals.
abstract: It is clear that the prospects of functional foods and nutraceuticals already excite the scientific community into discovering new substances that promise to extend healthy life. The greatest challenge will remain in the public policy and regulatory arenas, which will encourage research and development of products providing health benefits and permit remarking of products in truthful, nonmisleading communications while protecting public health and maintaining public confidence.
