Uniform Compliance Date for Food Labeling Regulations

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to establish January 1, 1998, as its new uniform compliance date for all food labeling regulations that are issued after the publication of a final rule based on this proposal and before January 1, 1997. FDA periodically has 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). With the adoption and implementation of those regulations, FDA is proposing to establish a new uniform compliance date.
