Because olestra is undigested, it inhibits absorption of a few fat-clinging vitamins. FDA requires manufacturers to add vitamins A, D, E and K to products made with olestra to counter that effect. That requirement will continue, but packages no longer will have to disclose why the vitamins are being added.

This sure sounds like a misleading move. The net effect of these "extra vitamins" on the vitamin intake of the consumer would be zero. Someone planning a diet which includes daily vitamin quotas needs to know this.
