The FDA has a new definition for 'healthy food,' stripping the label from some yogurts, breads, and fruit cups that have hidden sugars

The FDA's new guidelines provide a clear structure for labeling foods as 'healthy,' tightening limits on added sugars and fats, thereby promoting better dietary choices for consumers.

The agency emphasizes that highly sweetened yogurt and cereals cannot be labeled 'healthy,' marking a significant shift in food marketing and consumer perception of health claims.

Under the new standards, items like salmon, avocados, and olive oil qualify for the 'healthy' claim, reflecting a broader understanding of nutritious dietary fats.

With the global health food market intensifying, these guidelines aim to address nutritional challenges and could potentially save millions in healthcare costs over the next two decades.
