The FDA considers warning labels on processed foods amid rising obesity and diabetes concerns.

The FDA is considering front-of-package warning labels on processed foods to address rising obesity and diabetes rates, as discussed in a Senate hearing chaired by Sen. Bernie Sanders. FDA Commissioner Robert Califf acknowledged the need for clearer nutrition labels and better regulation but noted the agency's limited resources. The hearing also addressed the food industry's advertising practices and the impact of ultra-processed foods, with Califf calling for a comprehensive approach involving Congress, the industry, and other agencies.
