## Abstract

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is establishing January 2, 2012, as the uniform compliance date for food labeling regulations that are issued between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2010. (January 1, 2012, falls on a Sunday; therefore, the uniform compliance date will be January 2, 2012). FDA periodically announces uniform compliance dates for new food labeling requirements to minimize the economic impact of label changes. On December 21, 2006, FDA established January 1, 2010, as the uniform compliance date for food labeling regulations issued between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2008.
