Food Labeling: Nutrient Content Claims; Definition of Term “Healthy”
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is issuing this final rule updating the definition for the implied nutrient content claim "healthy" to be consistent with current nutrition science and Federal dietary guidance, especially the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (Dietary Guidelines), regarding how consumers can maintain healthy dietary practices. This final rule revises the requirements for when the term "healthy" can be used as an implied nutrient content claim in the labeling of human food products to help consumers identify foods that are particularly useful as the foundation of a nutritious diet that is consistent with dietary recommendations.
