Stakeholder Comments Responses to comments

Make definitions of lutein and lycopene more specific The lutein definition will indicate hydroxyl groups at the 3 and 3' positions. The  lycopene definition will indicate psi, psi end groups. Methods specific to xanthophylls or carotenes Methods that can measure all carotenoids are preferred, but separate methods for the  different carotenoid classes should be considered.
