The primary determinant of a food`s regulatory status is its intended use,which in turn is determined largely by the label and labeling information accompanying that food.Accordig to the FOOD,DRUG,and Cosmetic Act definition,foods are"article used for food or drink or components of any such article"and drugs are,in part,"articles intended for use in the diagnosis,cure,mitigation,treatment,or prevention of disease".
