美国FDA就营养素含量声称当中“健康”的定义征求意见

 

    本次行动与近期发布的《2016-2025食品与兽药项目》当中营养目标计划以及营养标识条例更新相一致。

 

    另外，美国FDA还收到了一项民众请愿，要求更新营养素含量声称条例，与现行联邦膳食指南保持一致。另外I啊，民众还请求FDA修订总脂肪摄取量相关营养素含量声称当中“健康”的定义，以及强调全食与膳食品种而非特定营养成分。

 

    部分原文报道如下：

 

    The Food and Drug Administration （FDA or we） is announcing the establishment of a docket to receive information and comments on the use of the term “healthy” in the labeling of human food products. This action is consistent with our recently released 2016-2025 Foods and Veterinary Medicine （FVM） Program's strategic plan with specific goals for nutrition and other planned and recent activity including the issuance of final rules updating certain of our nutrition labeling regulations. In addition, we received a citizen petition asking that we update, among other things, our nutrient content claim regulations to be consistent with current federal dietary guidance.

 

    In particular, the petitioners request that FDA amend the regulation defining the nutrient content claim “healthy” with respect to total fat intake and amend the regulation to emphasize whole foods and dietary patterns rather than specific nutrients. We invite public comment on the term “healthy”， generally, and as a nutrient content claim in the context of food labeling and on specific questions contained in this document.
