The Food and Drug Administration is proposing to amend its regulations to increase the type size of calorie declarations on packaging of food sold in vending machines. Under the proposed rule, type size for front of package calorie declarations on food sold from glass front vending machines would have to be at least 1.5 times size of the net weight declaration. The current requirement is 50% of the size of the largest printed matter on the label. FDA is proposing the change to “reduce regulatory burdens that the vending and packaged foods industries shared with us after the final rule implementing the vending machine labeling requirements” was issued in 2014. Comments are due Sept. 25.
