Luden's Echinacea Throat Drops Are Not Dietary Supplements, FDA Says
FDA continues to hold the position that throat or cough drops cannot be classified as dietary supplements, according to a Nov. 4 "courtesy" letter to Hershey Foods recently made available by the agency.

Hershey launched the extension to the Luden's line in August (2see story, p. 6).
