Food industry awaits Nutrition
Facts Panel regulation deadlines
By Jill Carte, DayMark Safety Systems
F
or more than a year now, the foodservice industry has been
awaiting changes by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) that could impact the appearance and information found
on Nutrition Facts Panels, otherwise known as food product labels.
Initially, the compliance date was set for July 26, 2018.
However, under a new proposal, food manufacturers with $10 million
or more in annual food sales would have until Jan. 1, 2020, to come
into compliance. Further, those manufacturers with sales under $10
million annually would have an extra year - Jan. 1, 2021 - to come into
compliance.
The FDA has been bantering around with compliance date changes for
a good part of the year. In June, it said it planned to extend the compliance date, but did not give an exact time. It was not until Sept. 29 that
they decided to push everything back a couple of years.
What's going on?
The Grocery Manufacturers Association welcomed the extension.
According to their president and CEO, Pamela Bailey, "[The] FDA's new
compliance date will provide companies with the necessary time to
execute these updates to the Nutrition Facts Panel in a manner that
will reduce consumer confusion and costs in the marketplace."

However, this decision by the FDA was not greeted with much
enthusiasm by organizations such as the Center for Science in
the Public Interest (CSPI). This organization believes current food
nutritional labels lack critical information that consumers should
have now when making food selections. Further, the organization
believes today's food nutrition labels are far too confusing for most
consumers to fully understand.

"Stakeholders expressed concerns about their ability to update all
products by the original compliance dates, as well as the importance
of obtaining clarification from the FDA on some technical issues
relating to the final rules," the FDA said when announcing its decision
on Sept. 29.
Bailey goes on to say that her association, along with others in the
food manufacturing, operating and service industries believe pushing
things back a couple of years simply makes good common sense.
"This will allow [the] FDA to complete the necessary final guidance
documents for added sugars and dietary fibers and gives companies
adequate time to make the Nutrition Facts Panel revisions."
