FDA Redefines ‘Healthy’ Food Labeling Amid Rising Diet-Related Diseases
The FDA has updated its criteria for what constitutes ‘healthy’ food, removing items like white bread while including nutrient-rich options such as eggs and salmon. This change comes as the U.S. faces a growing crisis in diet-related diseases. The FDA will also introduce a new symbol to help consumers identify healthy foods. Experts emphasize the need for accurate nutrition information as alarming statistics reveal high rates of sodium, saturated fat, and added sugars in American diets.
