Food Labeling: Nutrient Content Claims, Definition of Term: Healthy

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is revising its food labeling regulations by amending the definition of the term ``healthy'' to permit certain processed fruits and vegetables and enriched cereal- grain products that conform to a standard of identity to bear this term. This action is being taken to provide consumers with information that will assist them in achieving their dietary goals. This action also responds to petitions submitted to the agency by the American Frozen Food Institute (AFFI), the National Food Processors Association (NFPA), and the American Bakers Association (ABA).
