Summary
The FDA has updated its criteria for labeling foods as “healthy,” focusing on nutrient-rich options like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seafood, and nuts, while excluding products high in added sugars, salt, and unhealthy fats.
Fortified white bread and sugary cereals no longer qualify, addressing past loopholes. Experts praise the move, aligning with U.S. dietary guidelines and encouraging healthier food production.
A new “healthy” symbol is being developed for packaging, though some warn it may oversimplify individual dietary needs.
Companies have until 2028 to comply with the new rules.
All these regulations got to stop, we need DEREGULATION not MORE regulation. If companies have to put in actually healthy things into the nutritional empty sugar added shit they sell as healthy food, it will absolutely devastate profits.
Why is the FDA out to destroy America, it may increase health a bit, but who cares when there are profits to be made?
If you are such a fanatic about health, maybe you should move to Europe!
Every IDIOT knows we need more deregulation. We may die, but we die free of regulation that could have saved our lives.
