The FDA updated definitions of 'healthy' on food labeling, reflecting nutrition changes to tighten limits on saturated fat, sugar, and salt in labeled foods.
Dr. Robert Califf emphasized, 'It's critical for the future of our country that food be a vehicle for wellness,' highlighting the importance of consumer empowerment.
The 318-page rule specifies guidelines for labeling foods as healthy, stating requirements like a maximum of 5% daily sugar in dairy products.
The revised definition includes previously excluded items like nuts and salmon, and it aims to improve awareness of nutritious options for consumers.
