 TÍTULO: Etiquetado de los productos alimenticios: Indicaciones sobre el contenido nutricional - Ácidos grasos omega 3: ácido alfa linolénico, ácido eicosapentaenoico y ácido docosahexanoico) 
ORGANISMO: Administración de Productos Alimenticios y Farmacéuticos, Departamento de 
Sanidad y Servicios Sociales (HHS) 
MEDIDA: Norma definitiva 
RESUMEN: Administración de Productos Alimenticios y Farmacéuticos (FDA) publica esta norma 
definitiva para prohibir determinadas declaraciones de contenido nutricional en los alimentos corrientes y en complementos dietéticos que contienen ácidos grasos omega 3, porque la FDA ha 
determinado que dichas declaraciones no son conformes a las disposiciones de la Ley Federal de 
Productos Alimenticios, Medicamentos y Cosméticos (FD&C). La medida responde a tres solicitudes presentadas a la FDA. Se recibió una solicitud colectiva sobre contenido nutricional para el ácido alfa linolénico (ALA), el ácido docosahexanoic o (DHA) y el ácido eicosapentaenoico (EPA), de 
Alaska General Seafoods, Ocean Be auty Seafoods, Inc., y Trans-Ocean Products, Inc. (notificación 
de empresas de transformación de productos de la pesca); otra solicitud relativa a declaraciones 
de contenido de nutrientes para ALA, DHA y EP A, de Martek Biosciences Corp. (notificación 
Martek); y una tercera solicitud de declaración de contenido de nutrientes para DHA y EPA, de 
Ocean Nutrition Canada, Ltd. (notificación Ocean Nutrition). En la norma definitiva notificada se prohíben las declaraciones de contenido de nutrientes para DHA y EPA solicitadas en las tres 
notificaciones, y la declaración para ALA solicitada en la notificación de empresas de 
transformación de productos de la pesca. La FDA no ha adoptado aún decisiones sobre la declaración para ALA solicitada en la notificación Martek; por tanto, se podrán mantener estas declaraciones en el mercado. 
FECHAS: La norma notificada entrará en vigor el 1° de enero de 2016.

And the import penetration is taken into account:  
 
Consumption in the 3 preceding years:  2013: 67,191.1  tonnes  
  2014: 68,822.8 tonnes  
  2015: 72,074.8 tonnes  
  Average:  69,362.9 tonnes  
 
Calculation of trigger level (pursuant to Article 5 of the Agreement on Agriculture):  
 
Import penetration  = 10,989.9 /69,362.9  
 = 15.84 % (base trigger therefore equals 1 10%) 
 
Trigger level  = 10,989.9  tonnes  x 110% + (72,074.8-68,822.8) tonnes  
 = 15,340.9  tonnes  > 125% of the average imports = 13,737.4  tonnes  
 
Therefore, the trigger level is 13,737.4  tonnes.
