## Abstract

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending its food labeling regulations to modify the basis on which low-volume food products of small businesses are exempted from the requirements for nutrition labeling. The regulations also establish a notification procedure for small businesses to claim exemption for qualifying food products. This final rule is in response to the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act Amendments of 1993 (the 1993 amendments), and it is intended to provide an understanding of how the small business food labeling exemption provisions of the 1993 amendments operate.
