AGENCY:

Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION:

Notification of availability.

SUMMARY:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry entitled Use of the Term Healthy in the Labeling of Human Food Products: Guidance for Industry. The guidance advises manufacturers who wish to use the implied nutrient content claim healthy to label their food products as provided by our regulations. More specifically, the guidance advises food manufacturers of our intent to exercise enforcement discretion with respect to the implied nutrient content claim healthy on foods that have a fat profile of predominantly mono and polyunsaturated fats, but do not meet the regulatory definition of low fat, or that contain at least 10 percent of the Daily Value (DV) per reference amount customarily consumed (RACC) of potassium or vitamin D.

DATES:

Submit either electronic or written comments on FDA guidances at any time.

ADDRESSES:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

We are announcing the availability of a guidance for industry entitled Use of the Term Healthy in the Labeling of Human Food Products: Guidance for Industry. We are issuing this guidance consistent with our good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the current thinking of FDA on this topic. It does not establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an alternative approach if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.

Under section 403(r)(1)(A) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 343(r)(1)(A)), a food is misbranded if it bears claims, either express or implied, that characterize the level of a nutrient which is of a type required to be declared in nutrition labeling unless the claim is made in accordance with a regulatory definition established by FDA (see section 403(r)(2) of the FD&C Act). Our food labeling regulations at ?101.65(d) (21 CFR 101.65(d)) provide the regulatory definition for use of the term healthy or related terms (such as health, healthful, healthfully, healthfulness, healthier, healthiest, healthily, and healthiness) as an implied nutrient content claim on the label or in labeling of a food. This definition establishes the following nutrient conditions for bearing a healthy claim: (1) Specific criteria for nutrients to limit in the diet, such as total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium; and (2) requirements for nutrients to encourage in the diet, including vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, iron, protein, and fiber. The criteria are linked to elements in the Nutrition Facts label and serving size regulations (see ?101.9 and 101.12). The nutrient criteria to use the claim can vary for different food categories (e.g., fruits and vegetables, or seafood and game meat) (?101.65(d)(2)).

In the Federal Register of May 27, 2016, we issued final rules updating the Nutrition Facts label and serving size information for packaged foods to reflect new scientific information, including the link between diet and chronic diseases such as obesity and heart disease (see 81 FR 33742, Food Labeling: Revision of the Nutrition and Supplement Facts Labels; 81 FR 34000 Food Labeling: Serving Sizes of Foods That Can Reasonably Be Consumed At One Eating Occasion; Dual-Column Labeling; Updating, Modifying, and Establishing Certain Reference Amounts Customarily Consumed; Serving Size for Breath Mints; and Technical Amendments). Updates to the Nutrition Facts label include changes in the individual nutrients that must be declared and also changes to the DV of other individual nutrients, reflecting changes in recommended intake levels, based on current science.

Because the science supporting public health recommendations for intake of various nutrients has evolved, as reflected in the updated Nutrition Facts Label, FDA intends to exercise enforcement discretion with respect to some of the criteria for bearing the implied nutrient content claim healthy. In particular, we intend to exercise enforcement discretion with respect to the current requirement that any food bearing the nutrient content claim healthy meet the low fat requirement provided that: (1) The amounts of mono- and polyunsaturated fats are declared on the label; and (2) the amounts declared constitute the majority of the fat content.

Similarly, we intend to exercise enforcement discretion with respect to the current requirement that any food bearing the nutrient content claim healthy contain at least 10 percent of the DV per RACC of vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, iron, protein, or fiber, if the food instead contains at least 10 percent of the DV per RACC of potassium or vitamin D.

We are issuing this guidance without prior public comment under 21 CFR 10.115(g)(2) because we have determined that prior public participation is not feasible or appropriate, as this guidance implements a temporary enforcement policy while we update our regulations to be consistent with the final Nutrition Facts Label rule. However, as with all Agency guidances, the public may comment on the guidance at any time.
