FDA Proposes Front-of-Package Nutrition Labels to Combat Chronic Diseases
The FDA's new rule aims to simplify nutrition information on food packaging to help consumers make healthier choices.
Overview
The FDA has proposed a rule requiring front-of-package nutrition labels on packaged foods, highlighting levels of saturated fat, sodium, and added sugar. The initiative aims to empower consumers and combat rising chronic disease rates linked to diet, such as Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Proposed labels will categorize nutrient levels as 'low,' 'medium,' or 'high,' with implementation set for 2028 after a comment period. The rule aligns with similar measures adopted in other countries and could prompt manufacturers to reformulate products for healthier profiles.
