The Food and Drug Administration announced a new “Industry Resources” website (here) to help businesses comply with revised Nutrition Facts labeling requirements coming in 2018, it said (here). Finalized in May (see 1605200021), the revisions change information required on nutrition facts labels and how the nutrition facts are presented, and also require that manufacturers keep records on added sugar, the amount of dietary fiber and certain vitamin contents. A separate final rule increases recommended serving sizes to bring them in line with current eating habits, and requires an additional column of nutrition information for packages that contain more than one serving but could be consumed in one sitting. The website includes frequently asked questions, examples and illustrations of the revised labels, tables showing daily values of nutrients, and links to the final rules and other reference materials. Small businesses have until 2019 to comply with the revised requirements.

The Food and Drug Administration issued its weekly Enforcement Report for July 27 that lists the status of recalls and field corrections for food, drugs, biologics and devices (here). The report covers both domestic and foreign firms.
The Food and Drug Administration set potential fiscal year 2017 fees for import reinspections, domestic and foreign facility reinspections, and recall activities performed by FDA if a firm fails to comply with a mandatory recall order, though it still isn't invoicing for services associated with the fees, FDA said in a notice (here). The agency set FY 2017 fees of $221/hour for domestic services and $285/hour if foreign travel is required. The fees are effective Oct. 1.
