FDA Issues Uniform Compliance Date, Technical Amendments to Nutrition Facts Panel
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has established January 1, 2022, as “the uniform compliance date for food labeling regulations that are published on or after January 1, 2019, and on or before December 31, 2020” to help “minimize the economic impact of label changes.” The agency also issued technical amendments to the Nutrition Facts Label Final Rule that correct errors in sample labels and inadvertent omissions of preexisting provisions.
