One of Ona's contributions as Secretary of Health was the DOH-FDA Administrative Order 2010-0008, which mandated all companies to include in all advertisements, promotional, and/or sponsorship activities or materials concerning food/dietary supplements the following phrase:

:''MAHALAGANG PAALALA: ANG (NAME OF PRODUCT) AY HINDI GAMOT AT HINDI DAPAT GAMITING PANGGAMOT SA ANUMANG URI NG SAKIT [Important reminder: (Name of product) is not a medicinal drug and should not be used to treat the symptoms of any disease.]''

Fearing that the new directive may impact food/dietary supplement companies in a negative way, the [[Chamber of Herbal Industries of the Philippines]] (composed of over 65 firms in the country engaged in the manufacture, research and distribution of these products) filed a petition for injunction against it at the Manila Regional Trial Court in May 2010. Presiding judge Lilia Purugganan granted it, however, it was lifted in November 18, 2014 after the DOH won its appeal at the [[Court of Appeals of the Philippines|Court of Appeals]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.philstar.com/cebu-business/2015/05/20/1456817/fda-orders-food-supplement-makers-remove-no-approved-therapeutic|title=FDA orders food supplement makers remove 'No Approved Therapeutic Claim' tag|author=Lorenciana, Carlo|website=[[The Freeman (newspaper)|The Freeman]] via [[The Philippine Star|philstar.com]]|publisher=[[MediaQuest Holdings|PhilStar Daily, Inc.]]|date=May 20, 2015|accessdate=February 13, 2017|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170214101335/http://www.philstar.com/cebu-business/2015/05/20/1456817/fda-orders-food-supplement-makers-remove-no-approved-therapeutic|archivedate=February 14, 2017|df=}}</ref><ref>[http://www.bworldonline.com/content.php?section=Weekender&title=the-case-of-the-no-therapeutic-claims-disclaimer&id=92811 The case of the ‘no therapeutic claims’ disclaimer] (''[[BusinessWorld]]'')</ref>
