Nutrition Facts Label Changes

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has changed the requirements for the Nutrition Facts label that food packages must display. The changes reflect new scientific data about what constitutes a healthy diet. They also are designed to make labels easier to read and understand. Most manufacturers and packagers must adopt the new labeling standards by July 26, 2018. Small businesses will have an additional year to comply.

FOOTNOTE
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has changed the requirements for the Nutrition
Facts label that food packages must display. The changes reflect new scientific data
about what constitutes a healthy diet. They also are designed to make labels easier to
read and understand. Most manufacturers and packagers must adopt the new labeling
standards by January 1, 2020. Small businesses will have an additional year to comply.
Serving sizes have been adjusted to more accurately reflect Americans’
actual eating habits. Information about servings per container and
serving sizes has been made larger and more prominent.
Likewise, the calorie count for a serving has been
made larger and more prominent, making it easier
for consumers to determine their caloric intake.
The FDA has removed “Calories from Fat” from
labeling because research shows that the type of
fat consumed is more important than the amount.
“Added Sugars” has been added to the label
to identify how much sugar was added during
processing or packaging. Added sugars have
been identified as detrimental to maintaining
a healthy caloric intake.
Because most Americans today get enough
of vitamins A and C, they have been removed
from the Nutrients section of the label. Vitamin
D and potassium have been added because
many Americans do not get enough of these
nutrients. The daily values for nutrients also
have been updated to better reflect current
scientific data.
The “% Daily Value” information has been
updated to better explain its meaning in the
context of a regular, healthy diet.
