ASN to Comment on FDA Nutrition Innovation Strategy  The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a public meeting entitled “ FDA’s Comprehensive, Multi-Year Nutrition Innovation Strategy .” The purpose of the public meeting is to give interested persons an opportunity to comment on FDA’s nutrition innovation strategy, including: a standard icon or symbol for the claim “healthy”; a more efficient review strategy for evaluating qualified health claims; statements or claims that could facilitate innovation to promote healthful eating patterns; approaches for modernizing standards of identity; possible changes that could make ingredient information more consumer friendly; and FDA’s educational campaign for consumers about the updated Nutrition Facts Label that consumers will be seeing in the marketplace. The meeting will be held July 26, 2018 from 8:30am-5:30pm ET in Rockville MD. Attendees are encouraged to register online to attend the meeting in person or via live webcast.
