FDA Updates Definition Of 'healthy' For Food Labels

More than 80% of Americans aren't eating enough vegetables, fruits and dairy, but they are consuming unhealthy amounts of added sugars, saturated fats and sodium, salt sodium, the FDA says. File Photo by Bru-nO/Pixabay

Salmon can't be labeled a "healthy" food under existing federal regulations, because it contains high levels of fat.

But sweetened cereals can bear the "healthy" label on their packaging if they tick specific boxes related to individual nutrients -- even though they might be loaded with added sugars.

These contradictions fly in the face of modern nutrition science and common sense, so the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced on Wednesday that it is updating the marketing term "healthy" to reflect what has been learned about what makes a wholesome diet.

The new proposed FDA rule would align the definition of the "healthy" claim more closely with current nutrition science.

"Nutrition is key to improving our nation's health," Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement. "Healthy food can lower our risk for chronic disease. But too many people may not know what constitutes healthy food. [The] FDA's move will help educate more Americans to improve health outcomes, tackle health disparities and save lives."
