The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is looking to propose the inclusion of front-of-package warning labels that detail the calorie, fat, sugar and salt content of various processed food and drink products.
The agency plans to make a formal proposal in October, a little over two years after the FDA first considered implementing a new nutrition labeling system. In August 2022, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), along with the Association of SNAP Nutrition Education Administrators (ASNNA) and the Association of State Public Health Nutritionists (ASPHN) urged the FDA to “use its authority to establish a simple, standardized, evidence-based, and mandatory front-of-package labeling system for all packaged foods sold in the United States.”
