[HealthyTribes] FDA Announces New Nutrition Facts Label

Fri May 20 14:30:17 PDT 2016

Dear Partners -

Good afternoon! You may have heard the national news about the new nutrition facts label that will be coming to a store shelf near you (in 2018). HPCDP previously commented on the FDA rulemaking to support the addition of "added sugars" to the redesign of the label, and this is now included.

On a related note, earlier this month, FDA shared results of their Health and Diet Survey<http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Food/FoodScienceResearch/ConsumerBehaviorResearch/UCM497251.pdf?source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery> that showed that half of all adults look at the nutrition facts label "always" or "most of the time" when deciding whether to buy a food product, with only 10 percent stating the "never" use the label. We know that places are vitally important to provide access to healthy food, but having better information available for consumers to make informed choices is also a helpful development.

I wanted to share the information from official sources with you all - so please see the FDA information below. As always, please speak with your liaison if you have any questions.

FDA Announces New Nutrition Facts Label

May 20, 2016

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today announced a new Nutrition Facts label for most packaged foods that reflects the latest in nutrition science and includes additional nutrient information.

The new label features a refreshed design, reflects updated information about nutrition science and updates serving sizes and labeling requirements for certain package sizes.

Most food manufacturers will be required to use the new label by July 26, 2018. Manufacturers with less than $10 million in annual food sales will have an additional year to comply with the new rules. The FDA plans to conduct outreach and education efforts on the new requirements.
