FDA Proposes Updates to Sodium Levels for 'Healthy' Food Labeling

Summary

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to update the regulation for sodium levels in foods labeled as 'healthy.' The agency aims to introduce a more restrictive second-tier sodium level to help consumers make informed choices, while retaining the current first-tier level for meal and main dish products. The proposed changes are part of the FDA's efforts to align with current dietary recommendations and use plain language in regulations.
