摘要:

To implement the NLEA, the Food and Drug Administration published regulations on January 6, 1993, addressing three primary areas: the nutrition label, nutrient content claims and health claims. The new regulations require nutrition labeling on almost all packaged foods; they revise the list of nutrients whose content levels are required to be shown on the nutrition label, adopt a new format for the nutrition label and provide for more consistent serving sizes across product lines to reflect the amounts people actually eat.

The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 called for activities that educate consumers about the availability of nutrition information on the food label and the importance of using that information to maintain healthful dietary practices. To carry out this mandate, the Federal government, along with other public as well as private-sector groups, has initiated a major education campaign to help consumers use the new label in planning a healthy diet.
