Title: Front-of-Package Nutrition Labeling 
Abstract:

This rule, if finalized, would require the front of food labels to display certain nutrition information to help consumers, including those who are busy and those with lower nutrition knowledge, make more informed dietary choices.  Front-of-package nutrition labeling is intended to complement the Nutrition Facts label on packaged foods by giving consumers additional context to help them quickly and easily identify foods that can help them build a healthy eating pattern. This rule would also amend certain nutrient content claim regulations to align with current nutrition science and ensure consistency in labeling.
