  A new rule from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will update what it means for food to be labeled "healthy" for the first time in 30 years, a move that aligns with current nutrition science

The article from The Hill discusses the FDA's initiative to update the criteria for "healthy" food labels, aiming to align them more closely with current nutritional science. The proposed changes would redefine what qualifies as "healthy" to include foods that are part of a balanced diet, focusing on limiting added sugars, saturated fats, and sodium while encouraging the consumption of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. This shift comes in response to criticisms that the current standards are outdated and do not reflect modern dietary guidelines, potentially misleading consumers. The FDA's proposal has sparked a debate among food manufacturers, nutritionists, and consumer groups about how these changes could affect food marketing, consumer choices, and public health. The article highlights the tension between promoting healthier eating habits and the economic implications for the food industry, with some companies already reformulating products to meet the anticipated new standards.
