FDA is extending the compliance date for certain requirements in the final rule requiring disclosure of calorie declarations for food sold from certain vending machines. The agency is taking this action in response to requests for an extension and for reconsideration of the rule’s requirements pertaining to the size of calorie disclosures on front-of-package labeling.
This final rule is effective December 1, 2016.
