Nestle alone got Warned on four products, and is most likely overhauling every label it sells. POM took a direct hit, as did walnuts, which has an FDA-approved health claim and still managed to go over the line! What I found interesting is that the targets were all food companies. Usually the supplement industry takes a few hits when a shotgun blast like this goes off. We will have to wait to see if the FDA's aim continues to be foods, or if supplements will get their turn.
