FDA Amends Proposed Changes to Nutrition and Supplement Facts Labels

The Food and Drug Administration on July 27 made changes to its proposed new nutrition facts and supplement facts labels for foods and dietary supplements (here). The agency’s supplemental proposed rule modifies a proposal it issued in February 2014 (see 14022713) by requiring labels to include a daily reference value for added sugars, and by including a footnote explaining what the percent daily value means. Comments on the changes are due by Oct. 13.
