Detailed explanation-1: -According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates nutrient and health claims about foods, a whole grain food must contain all components of a grain kernel. That includes the bran, the germ and the endosperm (the inner most part of the kernel).
Detailed explanation-2: -Proposed Whole-Grain Food Definition A whole-grain food is one for which the product is made with ≥30% whole-grain ingredients on a dry-weight basis and more whole-grain ingredients than refined-grain ingredients.
Detailed explanation-3: -The only way to know for sure if a product is made with whole grains is to read labels carefully. Look in the ingredients list for the word “whole” or “100% whole” before any grain included in the product, such as whole wheat or whole rye.
Detailed explanation-4: -The rst popular claim is “Made with Whole Grains.” What this claim really means is that the product contains some whole grains, but is likely not 100% whole grain. (In fact, we often see this claim on products that contain so little whole grain that they don’t qualify for the Whole Grain Stamp.)
