Because Diamond Foods made truthful claims about the health benefits of consuming walnuts that the FDA didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t approve, it sent the company a letter<\/a> declaring, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Your walnut products are drugs\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153new drugs\u00e2\u20ac\u009d at that \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and, therefore, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153they may not legally be marketed \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 in the United States without an approved new drug application.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d The agency even threatened Diamond with \u00e2\u20ac\u0153seizure\u00e2\u20ac\u009d if it failed to comply.”<\/p>\n
