This significant development allows manufacturers to voluntarily label tea products with the \u201chealthy\u201d claim, provided they meet the updated criteria,\u201d ITA said in a statement. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the Executive Summary of the FDA\u2019s announcement, it was noted that all water, tea, and coffee with less than 5 calories per Reference Amount Customarily Consumed (RACC) and per labeled serving automatically qualify for the \u201chealthy\u201d claim&#8230;This recognition aligns with the growing body of scientific evidence supporting the health benefits of tea, which is rich in antioxidants and has been linked to various health advantages,\u201d the association said.\n<\/p>\n<p>According to ITA, this recognition is a \u201cpivotal moment\u201d for the tea industry, as it not only validates the nutritional value of tea but also empowers consumers to make informed choices. \u201cThis decision underscores the numerous health benefits of tea and reinforces our commitment to promoting tea as a healthful beverage choice,\u201d it said.\n<\/p>\n<p>The premier tea producers body said as the world increasingly turns to healthier dietary options, the association and its member companies remain dedicated to producing quality tea and promoting the benefits of Indian tea, ensuring that it continues to be a cherished beverage both in India and abroad.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> Rebecka Lupo <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehindubusinessline.com\/news\/indian-tea-association-welcomes-us-food-and-drug-administrations-recognition-of-tea-as-healthy-beverage\/article69009814.ece\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home News Updated &#8211; December 20, 2024 at 08:45 PM. | Kolkata, December 20 This significant development allows manufacturers to voluntarily label tea products with the \u201chealthy\u201d claim, provided they meet the updated criteria The Indian Tea Association (ITA), the country\u2019s oldest organisation of tea producers, on Friday welcomed the US Food and Drug Administration\u2019s<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":827023,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29331,24960],"tags":[5472,6494],"class_list":{"0":"post-827022","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-association","8":"category-indian","9":"tag-association","10":"tag-indian"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/827022","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=827022"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/827022\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/827023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=827022"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=827022"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=827022"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
