The NIS is intended to improve public health by educating consumers and encourage innovation to expand the use of nutrition in reducing the instances and impact of chronic disease. FDA held a public meeting on July 26, 2018 to discuss and solicit public input regarding the NIS. The Daily Intake has previously published posts regarding the NIS here and here. Keller and Heckman also published a client alert regarding the meeting.
