FDA has posted new guidance to help the US food and supplement businesses with compliance to the updated nutrition label regulations. The final rule was issued May 2016 and was to become enforced July 2018 (or 2019). The announcement is available here.
An extension to the deadline was proposed by the FDA. The new deadline was to be January 2020 (or 2021). We’ll have to continue to wait until “Spring 2018” for a firm and final rule on when the packaged foods and supplements will be enforced for proper nutrition labels.
While we are waiting, there is plenty of new help for the industry posted today (March 1, 2018) on these topics:
