WITH the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognising tea from the Camellia sinensis plant is a healthy beverage, the North Eastern Tea Association (NETA) raised a toast to it.
On December 19, the FDA issued a rule to update the "healthy" nutrient content claim to help consumers identify foods that are particularly useful as the foundation of a diet that is consistent with dietary recommendations.
"Fantastic news for the tea industry," said Peter F Goggi, the president of Tea Association of the USA.
"Tea is now officially recognized as a healthy beverage and tea can now claim this descriptor," he added.
