FDA Establishes the Sneaky Nutrition Food Packaging and Labeling Act

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), announces today the establishment of the Sneaky Nutrition Food Packaging and Labeling Act.

These new regulations allow special packaging and claims for foods meeting high nutritional standards, designed to attract children to healthier options in stores and schools. These marketing privileges are exclusive to qualifying nutritious foods, aiming to promote long-term healthy eating habits among youth.

“By setting high standards for these marketing privileges, we're encouraging food manufacturers to prioritize nutrition in their product development,” said the FDA representative. “This initiative empowers parents and children to make healthier choices by making nutritious options more appealing.”
