Agency Defines Term 'Whole Grain' for Use on Food Labels
FDA has issued guidance for companies that use the term "whole grain" on their food product labels. The agency considers whole grain to be intact, ground, cracked or flaked cereal grains (such as oats, corn, rice and wheat) that contain endosperm, germ and bran in the same proportion as in the intact grain.
