The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has updated the definition of 'healthy' foods, eliminating many previously accepted items based on limits for sodium, saturated fat, and added sugars.
The new guidelines reflect Dietary Guidelines for Americans' advice and aim to help consumers make better food choices by ensuring health claims on packaging are more accurate.
Only 10% of Americans meet daily vegetable intake recommendations, while over 90% consume too much sodium, highlighting the urgent need for these revised food labeling standards.
Under the new definition, foods such as salmon and almonds will qualify as healthy, promoting consumption of genuinely nutritious choices over processed items.
