ASN Offers Comments on FDA Nutrition Innovation Strategy
On July 26, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) hosted a public meeting to
hear comments
and give interested parties an opportunity to discuss various features of the FDA's Nutrition Innovation Strategy, which promotes public health through efforts to empower consumers to make better and more informed decisions about their diets and health, foster the development of healthier food options, and expand the opportunities to use nutrition to reduce morbidity and mortality due to chronic disease.
ASN provided oral comments
at this meeting and participated in the breakout groups that focused on 1. claims, statements, and icons on the label; 2. Nutrition Facts label consumer education campaign; and 3. modernizing standards of identify and ingredient lists. The agenda, remarks from the FDA Commissioner and the Director of CFSAN, and talking points for breakout sessions are available
here
. There were active discussions in both the plenary and breakout sessions which captured diverse and constructive suggestions from industry, health professionals, consumer groups, and government agencies. Summaries of all discussions and public comments will be available through the
docket
.
FDA recently
extended the public comment period for the agency’s
Nutrition Innovation Strategy
by 45 days,
until October 11, 2018
.
You may submit comments electronically through the
docket
. Comments received by mail/hand delivery/courier (for written/paper submissions) will be considered timely if they are postmarked or the delivery service acceptance receipt is on or before that date.
