New York Health Foundation Comments on Front-of-Package Nutrition Information
On May 16, 2025, the New York Health Foundation submitted supportive comments on the FDA’s proposed mandatory front-of-package “Nutrition Info Box” rule, which would clearly indicate whether a product is “Low,” “Med,” or “High” in saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars. The Foundation emphasized the tool’s potential to reduce diet-related diseases, particularly in priority populations disproportionately affected by poor nutrition. Citing robust evidence from consumer focus groups and experimental studies, they underscored that interpretive front-of-package labels can effectively guide healthier choices. They also recommended prioritizing labeling requirements for products high in these key nutrients to maximize public health impact.
