On November 21, 2024, FDA’s Front-of-Package Nutrition Labeling rule was advanced to the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review. FDA is proposing a standardized labeling system that would provide nutrition information on the front of the package rather than on the back or side. After OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) reviews the proposed rule, it will be published in the Federal Register where it will become available for public comment.
On December 5, 2024, The Health, Education, Labor & Pensions Committee (HELP) held a hearing to address FDA’s efforts in combatting diabetes and obesity in America and noted the importance of labeling in achieving positive health outcomes related to diet and nutrition.
