Statement from FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, M.D., on FDA’s new efforts to advance implementation of the new consumer Nutrition Facts label for foods

Americans rely on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to ensure that food labels contain updated nutritional information to help them make more informed food choices that lead to better health for themselves and their families. I’ve made nutrition one of my top priorities, and ensuring that consumers have accurate and science-based information concerning the link between diet and chronic diseases like diabetes, obesity and heart disease is part of that commitment. We need to advance new ways to use the science we’re learning about diet and nutrition as tools for reducing the burden of disease. Our update to the iconic Nutrition Facts label includes significant changes to help consumers make more informed dietary choices, and we are already seeing the new label on many products.
