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

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending 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 including 1/8 teaspoon (tsp) as an additional allowable household measure, because it is a common household measure available to consumers. This action is being taken in response to a petition submitted by Church Dwight Co., Inc., on behalf of Arm & Hammer.
