FDA Eyes Front-Label Nutrition Info Rule for Packaged Foods

The FDA has taken a significant step toward requiring basic nutrition information on the front label of packaged foods.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing a requirement to provide consumers with a front-of-package (FOP) nutrition label in packaged foods, per the agency’s official news release.

The proposal coincides with the FDA’s nutrition priorities, which are designed to help combat the U.S.’s chronic disease crisis. If finalized, the proposal would give consumers readily visible information about a food’s product’s saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars content, the agency says.

An FOP nutrition label or “Nutrition Info box” would show information on the nutrients in a simple format. The label indicates if a food contains “Low,” “Med (medium),” or “High” levels of the nutrients. Furthermore, the proposed labeling would complement the FDA’s longstanding “Nutrition Facts” label, which provides consumers more detailed nutrient content information.
