The US Food & Drug Administration has issued a warning letter against Nestle, saying the Swiss food company has made some misleading claims about the health benefits of some of its beverages targeting children.

In its letter dated December 4, the FDA said Nestle mislabeled its Boost drink, which come in many flavors such as Vanilla, Chocolate, and Strawberry as a medical food as medical foods must be for the dietary management of a particular disorder or disease and must be used under medical supervision.

The FDA also said that the Swiss food company made statements like “no sugar added” on brain development drinks. But, companies are not permitted to make that kind claims on foods made for children younger than 2.

The agency also showed concerns over company’s claims that its All-Natural Orange/Tangerine and Grape juices are 100 per cent pure and natural juices.

The letter further warned Nestle that its products must be in compliance with the laws and regulations laid by the FDA.
