What health agencies say
An opinion says what the agency recommends; it is not a rule binding on the product.
AFSSA recommended informing consumers that excess fructo-oligosaccharides can cause intestinal problems. It called for supplements containing large amounts of them not to be promoted. This opinion predates 2012; no more recent official safety opinion specifically addressing FOS in food supplements was found.
In plain words
