  • 2025-00778 — Food Labeling: Front-of-Package Nutrition Information
    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 5426
    Reading Time:about 3 hours

    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed a new rule that would require most packaged foods to display a front-of-package (FOP) nutrition label called the Nutrition Info box. This label aims to help consumers quickly find and better understand important nutrition information by providing easy-to-read details about saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars. The new rule also includes updates to regulations for low sodium and low saturated fat claims, and would allow businesses time to adjust, with compliance dates varying based on their annual sales.

    Simple Explanation

    The FDA wants to make food packages show a small box on the front that tells you about some ingredients like fat and sugar, so people can see this information easily and know if the food is healthy. They are also planning to change some rules about what can be called "low in salt" or "low in fat" to match up with newer health advice.
