Uniform Compliance Date for Food Labeling Regulations

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is establishing January 1, 2000, as the uniform compliance date for food labeling regulations that are issued between January 1, 1997, and December 31, 1998. FDA has periodically announced uniform compliance dates for new food labeling requirements to minimize the economic impact of label changes. In 1992, FDA suspended this practice pending the issuance of regulations implementing the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (the 1990 amendments). FDA recently reinstated this practice of with the establishment of a uniform compliance date of January 1, 1998.
