 FDA/CFSAN Cosmetics--Hypoallergenic
It said that a cosmetic would be permitted to be labeled "hypoallergenic" or make similar claims only if scientific studies on human subjects showed that it caused a significantly lower rate of adverse skin reactions than similar products not making such claims.
The manufacturers of cosmetics claiming to be "hypoallergenic" were to be responsible for carrying out the required tests.
The appeals court held that FDA's definition of the term "hypoallergenic" was unreasonable because the Agency had not demonstrated that consumers perceive the term "hypoallergenic" in the way described in the regulation.

 Hypoallergenic Cat Litter - How to Select the Best Hypoallergenic Cat Litter
Hypoallergenic cat litter is made without silica dust, a mineral that is often found in clay cat litter.
Hypoallergenic cat litter comes in two varieties, ‘clumping,' which will clump together when exposed to moisture, thus making for easier cleanup, and ‘regular' or ‘clay' hypoallergenic cat litter, which is non-clumping.
Hypoallergenic cat litter should be dust-free, lightly scented, or unscented, and may be either clumping, or non-clumping.

 Hypoallergenic - Definition, explanation
Hypoallergenic is the characteristic of producing little or no allergic reaction.
The proteins that cause allergies are found not only in the animals' fur or hair but also in saliva, urine, mucous, and hair roots and in the dander sloughed from the animals' skin.
At the same time, the company denied that it will be able to do the same for dogs, because whereas cats have a single gene that produces the allergenic protein, dogs have many allergenic proteins controlled by multiple genes.

 Researchers Develop First Hypoallergenic Soybeans
So far, though, the researchers are encouraged by early results from human blood serum tests in which antibodies that normally bind to P34 couldn't detect the allergen in knockout beans.
The hypoallergenic beans will also have to pass muster on an agronomic checklist that includes seed production, yield, pest resistance, oil and protein composition, and other criteria important to soy farmers and processors.
The potential effect such beans could have on the industry and on consumers may be far reaching, not so much because of the number of soy-sensitive people there are, but because of the multitude of products derived from the crop, which generated $12 billion in 2000 U.S. farm sales.
