Other marketing language (such as complete and balanced for ___ life stage can be made\nelsewhere on the label. The feeding directions for the additional use should be included as secondary feeding\ndirections.\n\nFor Treat products, can we add life stage in the front, like adult dog treat, all life stages\ndog treat?\nNo, the purpose statement is to be verbatim without other language, but such additional language can be\nadded elsewhere on the principal display panel. The feeding directions would need additional directions to\nsupport the secondary nutritional claim.\n\nOn Nutrition Facts, for high dietary fiber products (eg pea fiber rich recipe), how can we\nlabel, when maximum dietary fiber level is bigger than maximum Total Carbohydrate?\nDietary fiber should not exceed total carbohydrates. Dietary fiber is a subset of the total carbohydrates. It\nmight be that they have the same maximum.\n","sources":[],"tokens_estimated":759,"generated_at":null,"tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
