24 T - - 29 Seaweed (Leaf & Stem Vegetable) Date Published: 09/19/2026 Desc: Salted Seaweed Stem Notes: The article is subject to refusal of admission pursuant to Section 801(a)(3) of the FD&C Act because it appears to be misbranded within the meaning of Section 403(a)(1). Laboratory analysis demonstrates that the declared amount of potassium is inaccurate and does not meet the requirements of 21 CFR § 101.9(g)(4)(ii), in that the amount present is less than 80 percent of the declared value on the label. Specifically, the Nutrition Facts label declares 550 mg of potassium per 30 g serving; however, the original analysis found 99.5 mg (18% of the declared amount) and the check analysis found 105 mg (19% of the declared amount). Under 21 CFR § 101.9(g)(4)(ii), the actual content of a Class II nutrient must be at least 80 percent of the value declared on the label. As a result, the declared potassium content appears to be false or misleading. The article is subject to refusal of admission pursuant to Section 801(a)(3) of the FD&C Act because it appears to be misbranded within the meaning of Section 403(q). The label bears two additional Nutrition Facts labels presented in another country's format. FDA's nutrition labeling requirements under 21 CFR § 101.9 do not provide for the use of another country's Nutrition Facts label format on products subject to FDA jurisdiction. Additionally, the serving size is not declared using a household measure as required by 21 CFR § 101.9(b)(1). 24 U - - 29 Seaweed, Dried or Paste Date Published: 09/19/2026 Desc: Salted Seaweed Stem Notes: The article is subject to refusal of admission pursuant to Section 801(a)(3) of the FD&C Act because it appears to be misbranded within the meaning of Section 403(a)(1).
