Medical Food Review

Medical Food 4 legal tests + clinical evidence + channel audit

Medical Food Review

Medical Food must pass 4 legal tests: (1) oral/enteral tube feeding (2) physician supervision (3) specific disease (4) unique nutritional requirements. FDA issues 30+ Warning Letters yearly to 'health foods' disguised as medical foods. This flow tells you honestly whether you qualify.

  • Rigorous 4-test assessment (clear classification: true medical food vs DSHEA supplement)
  • Clinical nutrition evidence review + ICD-10 disease matching + literature citation verification
  • Label + channel audit (DTC sales = Warning Letter red flag)
  • If not qualified, recommend correct path (general food / supplement / OTC / NDA)
