The Food and Drug Administration flexed its new
muscles against the tobacco industry Thursday, scolding makers of three
brands of cigarettes for labels saying they are "natural" or
"additive-free".
It issued warning letters to Winston maker ITG
Brands LLC; Natural American Spirit maker Santa Fe Natural Tobacco
Company Inc.; and Nat Sherman maker Sherman's 1400 Broadway N.Y.C. Ltd.
"The FDA has determined that these products,
described as 'natural' and 'additive-free' on their labeling, need an
FDA modified risk tobacco product order before they can be legally
introduced as such into interstate commerce," the agency said in a
statement.
