Abstract
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is issuing this final rule to revise the type size labeling requirements when front-of- pack (FOP) labeling is used to meet the calorie declaration requirements for articles of food sold from glass-front vending machines. We are taking this action to reduce the regulatory burden on industry, increase flexibility for the labeling of certain articles of food sold from glass-front vending machines, and ensure that consumers continue to have visible FOP calorie information for articles of food at the point of purchase.
