According to the FDA, in their official announcement, it\u2019s stated that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote f-size-200 pt-4 is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"f-size-400 pb-4 has-medium-font-size\">\u201cThe purpose of the CP is to help ensure that food facilities comply with FDA regulations, and to protect public health by identifying and addressing food safety issues.\u201d<br><\/p>\n<cite>\u2014 U.S. Food and Drug Administration, <em>HFP Constituent Updates<\/em>, Read the full update<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/food\/hfp-constituent-updates\/fda-updates-general-food-labeling-requirements-compliance-program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> here<\/a>.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to the FDA nutrition label approval and review process, it\u2019s an intricate and well-thought-out system that has a different process for each product type. It\u2019s important to understand the process, and its unique challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By regularly updating these programs, the FDA helps both protect consumers from risks like undisclosed allergens and provide clear guidance for the industry to meet evolving regulatory standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-often-does-the-fda-update-its-compliance-programs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Often_Does_The_FDA_Update_Its_Compliance_Programs\"><\/span>How Often Does The FDA Update Its Compliance Programs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering how often these changes occur, the honest answer is that there is no specific timeline for them. The FDA reviews its regulations periodically and updates them if, and when, health issues come up that require inspection priority or updated regulations. From their past track record, it\u2019s not done too often, given the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/food\/hfp-constituent-updates\/fda-updates-general-food-labeling-requirements-compliance-program#:~:text=This%20update%20replaces%20the%20previous,operational%20guidance%2C%20and%20enforcement%20priorities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">last major update<\/a> was all the way back in 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping up with regulatory updates is time-consuming and needs a lot of effort and understanding.

Consumer Safety Officers (CSOs) will be closely reviewing to ensure all nutrition labels meet these format requirements and follow current labeling regulations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sesame as the Ninth Major Allergen: <\/strong>Under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/117th-congress\/senate-bill\/578\/text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FASTER Act of 2021<\/a>, sesame has been added to the list of major food allergens requiring specific labeling on packaged foods. This law was passed in order to protect consumers and ensure food allergy safety across all FDA-regulated goods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clarified Gluten-Free Labeling:<\/strong> Back in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov\/documents\/2013\/08\/05\/2013-18813\/food-labeling-gluten-free-labeling-of-foods\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2013<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov\/documents\/2020\/08\/13\/2020-17088\/food-labeling-gluten-free-labeling-of-fermented-or-hydrolyzed-foods\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2020,<\/a> the FDA released final rules on gluten-free labeling stating that for a claim to be true, the product must either be naturally gluten-free or contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-your-food-product-label-ready-for-the-spotlight\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Your_Food_Product_Label_Ready_for_the_Spotlight\"><\/span>Is Your Food Product Label Ready for the Spotlight?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that none of the above general food labeling requirements are new rules or regulations \u2013 they\u2019re simply the main points inspectors are focusing on when it comes to nutrition labels. Meaning it\u2019s now more important than ever that your food label is 100% market-compliant, as the FDA hasn\u2019t given a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/industry\/fda-import-process\/entry-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">grace period<\/a> if nutrition labels don\u2019t meet the FDA\u2019s labeling requirements.

While this is the basis of it \u2013 being compliant to your market sends a far more important message to your consumers.
