Food Labeling; Serving Sizes; Reference Amount for Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Pectin

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend the nutrition labeling regulations to change the reference amount customarily consumed per eating occasion for the food category ``baking powder, baking soda, pectin'' from 1 gram (g) to 0.6 g to more accurately reflect the amount of these products that is customarily consumed. The agency is also proposing to include 1/8 teaspoon (tsp) as an additional allowable household measure because it is a common household measure available to consumers. The agency is proposing this action in response to a petition filed by Arm & Hammer.
