  • On May 8, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) extended the public comment period for its proposed rule on front-of-package (FOP) nutrition labeling by 60 days. Stakeholders now have until July 15, 2025, to submit feedback.
  • The extension comes in response to requests for more time to review and comment on the proposal. The proposed rule, announced January 16, 2025, would require most packaged foods to display a simplified “Nutrition Info” box on the front of the package. The box would highlight the level of three nutrients of public concern: saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars, using descriptive terms such as “low,” “med,” or “high.”
  • The rule is part of a broader initiative at the agency to reduce diet-related chronic diseases and is intended to provide consumers with a quick and easy way to understand nutrition information related to packaged food products.
  • Comments can be submitted via Regulations.gov under docket number FDA-2024-N-2910. Keller and Heckman can assist in drafting or submitting comments on behalf of interested parties.
