The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently signaled its continued interest in developing a voluntary “healthy” symbol for packaged foods as a representation of the nutrient content claim.
Quantitative research on voluntary “healthy” symbol
On 7 May 2021, the FDA issued a notice in the Federal Register announcing that it is conducting preliminary quantitative consumer research on symbols that could be used in the future to convey the nutrient content claim “healthy” on packaged foods.
1 In the Constituent Update announcing the notice, the FDA further explained that it is conducting the consumer research “in conjunction with the development of a proposed rule the FDA intends to later publish that would update when manufacturers may use the ‘healthy’ nutrient content claim on food packages.”
FDA is not worried about the safety of specific lots of canola seed and “a small number of canola fields” for human and animal consumption that inadvertently were contaminated with low levels of two new genetically modified varieties of canola seed currently undergoing premarket food safety reviews.
But, the agency’s lack of concern about the contamination should not be mistaken for an endorsement of the varietals’ safety in broader use, yet, FDA notes in an April 13 Constituent Update. It explains it is still conducting a premarket food safety consultation for each of the varietals – a voluntary step that most companies complete before marketing new products.
