美國(guó)延長(zhǎng)食品標(biāo)簽使用“健康”術(shù)語(yǔ)的評(píng)議期

 

    美國(guó)FDA表示，重新定義食品標(biāo)簽上的“健康”可以為消費(fèi)者提供相應(yīng)信息，讓他們更容易做出健康選擇，還可以促使企業(yè)研發(fā)出更加健康的食品。

 

    部分原文報(bào)道如下：

 

    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration （FDA） today announced that it has started a public process to redefine the “healthy” nutrient content claim for food labeling. Redefining “healthy” is part of an overall plan to provide consumers with information and tools to enable them to easily and quickly make food choices consistent with public health recommendations and to encourage the development of healthier foods by the industry.

 

    While FDA is considering how to redefine the term “healthy” as a nutrient content claim, food manufacturers can continue to use the term “healthy” on foods that meet the current regulatory definition. FDA is also issuing a guidance document stating that FDA does not intend to enforce the regulatory requirements for products that use the term if certain criteria described in the guidance document are met.
