TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has warned the cherry industry not to overstate the health benefits of its products.
The agency sent a letter last week to 29 companies, including 11 in northern Michigan, that manufacture, market or distribute products such as fruit juice concentrates and dried fruits.
It directed the businesses to stop making "unproven claims" on Web sites and labels that their products treat or prevent diseases like cancer, heart disease and arthritis.
