USA
Oct 17, 2023
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has published “Catching Up with Califf: Advancing Nutrition, Healthy Food Options and Front-of-Package Labeling”.
The document, written by FDA Commissioner Robert Califf, discusses the agency’s nutrition efforts in response to last year’s White House Conference and National Strategy on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health. Commissioner Califf has stated that the development of front-of-package (FOP) labeling is “front and center” in terms of agency attention. FOP labeling could help consumers better understand nutrition information and has the potential to be one of the most momentous changes to food labeling since the Nutrition Facts label.
