The FDA updates "healthy" food labels to include more nutrients and limit sugars, fats, and sodium.

The FDA has updated the definition of "healthy" foods to better align with current nutrition science. To be labeled as "healthy," products must now contain certain amounts of food from food groups like fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, and protein, and meet limits on added sugars, sodium, and saturated fat. This change aims to help consumers identify nutritious options and reduce diet-related chronic diseases. The new rules take effect in two months, giving manufacturers until February 2028 to comply.
