Abstract
Snack foods have become a prime target of some consumer advocates and nutritionists who have castigated them as sources of “empty calories.” In an attempt to counter this criticism, a number of manufacturers of snack foods have undertaken the development of products supplemented by vitamins, minerals, or proteins. Anyone considering the initiation of such development work should clearly understand that the composition, labeling, and advertising claims are very rigidly controlled by federal laws and regulations. The legal problems are likely to be far more formidable than the technical ones, even though the latter are difficult enough.
