2018年9月6日，美國食品藥物管理局（FDA）發(fā)布指南草案，除了法規(guī)要求的定量重量外，允許公司在膳食補充劑標簽中以菌落形成單位（CFU）標明含有的活微生物數(shù)量。CFUs是飲食成分中活微生物數(shù)量的單位。允許公司在膳食補充劑的標簽中標明CFU將有助于消費者識別每種產(chǎn)品的活微生物數(shù)量，更容易與其他產(chǎn)品相對比。?

部分原文報道如下：?

The FDA also issued a response to a citizen petition from the International Probiotics Association requesting that we amend 21 CFR 101.36 to allow probiotic ingredients to be labeled by CFUs instead of by weight. FDA denied the request to amend our regulations, in order to allow for further evaluation of methods to enumerate live microbials. In the meantime, we believe that the draft guidance regarding our intent to exercise enforcement discretion will allow consumers and health care professionals to benefit from the declaration of live microbials in CFUs in addition to weight in the Supplement Facts label.
