Kind of like those chips made with Olean a few years back. Interesting read.

Quote »THE FOOD and Drug Administration (FDA) has eliminated the label requirements for Procter & Gamble Company's (P&G) olestra, a fat replacer ingredient marketed as Olean. The FDA says the label statement--which informs consumers that olestra may cause abdominal cramping and loose stools in some individuals--was no longer warranted as post-market studies showed that olestra caused only infrequent, mild gastrointestinal effects. The labeling was required upon the FDA's approval of olestra in 1996 for use in foods such as potato chips, cheese puffs and crackers. The zero calorie fat substitute is made from sucrose and edible fats and oils.

"We're pleased the FDA has taken this action, and we think its decision is great news for consumers," says Greg Allgood, associate director of P&G's Health Sciences Institute. "It confirms what millions of consumers already have concluded for themselves, and it will provide additional confidence to the millions of people who are enjoying low and fat-free snacks made with Olean," he adds.

The consumer advocacy group Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), however, was not happy with the FDA ruling. The CSPI says the FDA action on olestra is a mistake that will inflict needless misery, inconvenience and embarrassment for countless Americans.

"P&G's own studies prove olestra causes diarrhea, cramps and other symptoms. If that weren't enough, the FDA has more than 20,000 complaints about olestra in its files--more than it "has for all other food additives in history combined," says Michael F. Jacobson, executive director of CSPI. "This is just another in a string of setbacks for the public's health, engineered by the FDA that seems all too eager to do the bidding of big food companies."

P&G argues that several studies conducted for more than five years show that there are no differences in digestive effects between people eating products with Olean and regular full-fat snacks. "Nine separate consumer studies indicate that the Olean label was misleading," adds P&G.

The current labeling requirements are effective immediately, according to the FDA, although it adds that consumers can expect a time-lapse before companies could introduce the new product label. Olestra's sales in the late 1990s are said to have plummeted because of consumer concerns on its possible side effects. Analysts put the US market for fat replacers at roughly $400 million.[/quote]
