Serious question -- do they have an FDA approval?? Can they produce and sell it without it?
Recently learnt about some Amish selling home made honey without FDA approval; now awaiting trial on a 20 years jail charge.

I don't know if it was intentional, but your description of the Amish and honey is not completely accurate. The gentleman in question was informed he could not claim a salve he sold cured cancer without evidence. It's not honey, it's a mixture of herbal remedies, some of which are toxic.
It's hard to get any true factual information about this specific case because the coverage is almost entirely in heavily biased "news" outlets that focus on "Natural Healing Remedies".

The killer FDA rule that is going to impact a lot of people goes effective for enforcement on May 5.
Honey itself is basically unregulated - you can more-or-less dump unfiltered honey into bottles in your garage and sell it.
This is not a supplement or additive so it's a food. It's not a pill you take in addition to your meal but a meal replacement. The best route from here is to see if ensure is fda approved and if it is, what's the value of that stamp? Is it objective 100%? You can't make many assumptions so we must continue on from this point. I"m not sure there are regulatory requirements for a product like this and if there are what is the value? Does an FDA stamp on this supplement mean 100% that a product can replace all food forever?
They've stopped making medical claims for the product.

I'd be inteested to read that case. Most of the cases I've seen people were making clear medical claims ("cures cancer") or selling raw milk.
No word for downvoters. I'm sure you never been once wrong in your lifetime...
