Title: Reference Daily Intakes
Abstract: The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (NLEA) requires that most foods bear nutrition labeling. The agency issued final rules implementing most of the provisions contained in the NLEA on January 6, 1993. Subsequently, however, the agency has identified additional areas that should be the subject of rulemaking. FDA issued a proposal on January 6, 1993, to establish requirements for the identification of certain ingredients on food labels. FDA proposed on June 15, 1993, to amend its January 6, 1993, final rules on nutrient content and health claims to remove the provisions that exempted restaurant menus from the requirements for how nutrient content claims and health claims are to be made. FDA also proposed to modify the provisions that delay the effective date of these regulations for small restaurant firms for one year. The agency proposed January 4, 1994, to establish reference daily intakes based on the 9th and 10th editions of the National Research Council's Recommended Dietary Allowances. On March 14, 1994, FDA published a proposal describing the provisions for exemptions for low-volume food products of small businesses that were established by the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act Amendments of 1993. On August 18, 1993, FDA published a proposal concerning the placement of the nutrition facts panel on food labels. Finally, on July 18, 1994, FDA published proposed revised guidelines for the voluntary declaration of nutrition labeling for raw produce and fish. A final rule concerning the placement of the nutrition facts panel was published on April 5, 1995. A final rule establishing reference daily intakes based on the 9th and 10th editions of Recommended Dietary Allowances was published on December 28, 1995. ^PFDA published a final rule on August 2, 1996, on nutrient content claims and health claims to remove the provisions that exempted restaurant menus from the requirements for how nutrient content claims and health claims are to be made. FDA published a final rule on August 7, 1996, describing provisions for an exemption for small businesses from the requirements for nutrition labeling and providing instructions on how to file a notice claiming the exemption. FDA published on August 16, 1996, final guidelines in the voluntary declaration of (CONT)
