FDA Updates 'Healthy' Food Labeling to Include Nutrient-Dense Eggs by February 2028
Dec 24, 2024, 09:03 PM
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has updated its definition of 'healthy' foods, with the new criteria set to take effect in February 2028. Under the revised rules, products must contain a certain amount of food from at least one of the recommended food groups such as fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, and protein, and must adhere to limits on added sugars, sodium, and saturated fat. This update excludes many processed foods from being labeled as 'healthy,' while including nutrient-dense foods like eggs, which are now classified as 'healthy' due to their nutritional profile. The FDA's move aims to align food labeling with current nutrition science and federal dietary guidelines, helping consumers make healthier choices and potentially reducing diet-related chronic diseases.
