- FDA has delayed the effective date of the final rule on use of the term “healthy” in food labeling until April 28, 2025, in response to a presidential memorandum recommending a regulatory freeze to review questions of fact, law, and policy that recently published rules may raise. We previously blogged about the “healthy” final rule here and the regulatory freeze here.
- According to the Agency, the temporary delay “is necessary to give Agency officials the opportunity for further review and consideration of the new regulation, consistent with the memorandum described previously.” FDA is not seeking public comment due to the limited impact of the delayed effective date, since the February 25, 2028 compliance date remains unchanged. FDA also reiterated that “parties are free to begin implementing the rule earlier than the compliance date.”
