Food Labeling; Placement of the Nutrition Label on Food Packages
Traduzione automatica locale · Lingua originale della fonte
Riepilogo
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending its food labeling regulations to provide increased flexibility in the placement of the nutrition label on packaged foods. In situations in which the principal display and information panels cannot accommodate all the required labeling information, and the package has a total surface area available to bear labeling of greater than 40 square inches (sq in), the amendment allows the nutrition label to be placed on any panel that can be readily seen by the consumer. This action is being taken in response to comments received on the final rule of January 6, 1993, entitled ``Food Labeling Regulations Implementing the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990; Opportunity for Comments,'' (hereinafter ``the implementation final rule''), and on the proposed rule of August 18, 1993, entitled ``Food Labeling; Placement of the Nutrition Label on Food Packages.''
