The FDA also issued a response to a citizen petition from the International Probiotics Association requesting that we amend 21 CFR 101.36 to allow probiotic ingredients to be labeled by CFUs instead of by weight. FDA denied the request to amend our regulations, in order to allow for further evaluation of methods to enumerate live microbials. In the meantime, we believe that the draft guidance regarding our intent to exercise enforcement discretion will allow consumers and health care professionals to benefit from the declaration of live microbials in CFUs in addition to weight in the Supplement Facts label.
