Snack Food & Wholesale Bakery was able to speak with Claudia A. Lewis, co-chair of Venable LLP’s FDA Group and a key member of the firm’s Food and Drug Law and Regulatory practices, about the Food Labeling Modernization Act.
The Act would require updates to the ingredient list on packaged foods and apply consumer-friendly labeling requirements. It calls on new guidelines for the use of the word “healthy,” and for HHS to establish a single, standard front-of-package nutrition labeling system, and other standards to help consumers make healthier nutrition choices and avoid misleading, deceptive pitches and promotions.
