 US FDA/CFSAN - Qualified Health Claims: Letter Regarding "Tomatoes and Prostate, Ovarian, Gastric and Pancreatic ...
This letter sets forth the basis of FDA's determination that the current scientific evidence for the proposed qualified health claims related to consumption of tomatoes and/or tomato sauce, and a reduced risk of prostate, gastric, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers is appropriate for consideration as a qualified health claim on conventional foods.
This letter also sets forth the basis for FDA's determination that there is no credible evidence supporting a relationship between consumption of lycopene, either as a food ingredient, a component of food, or as dietary supplement, and reduced risk of any of the cancers specified in the petition.
As discussed in Section II of this letter, the evidence for a relationship between tomato or tomato-based foods intake and a reduced risk of lung cancer is from one cohort study (Speizer et al., 1999), one sub-cohort study (Steinmetz et al., 1993), and one nested case-control study (Voorrips et al., 2000).
