Title: Food Labeling: Serving Sizes of Foods That Can Reasonably Be Consumed At One Eating Occasion; Dual-Column Labeling; Updating, Modifying, and Establishing Certain RACCs | |
Abstract:
FDA is amending its labeling regulations for foods to provide update, modify, and establish Reference Amounts Customarily Consumed (RACCs) for certain food categories. This rule would provide consumers with nutrition information based on the amount of food that is customarily consumed, which would assist consumers in maintaining healthy dietary practices. In addition to updating, modifying, and establishing certain RACCs, FDA is amending the definition of a single-serving containers; amending the label serving size for breath mints; and providing for dual-column labeling under certain circumstances, which would provide nutrition information per serving and per container or unit, as applicable; and making technical amendments to various aspects of the serving size regulations. |
