FDA Food Labeling Regulations – FDA is establishing “… January 1, 2020, as the uniform compliance date for food labeling regulations that are issued between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2018 …” – FDA has periodically announced “… uniform compliance dates for new food labeling requirements to minimize the economic impact on the food industry of having to respond separately to each change. Occasionally the FDA sets specific compliance dates other than the uniform compliance date when appropriate. For example, the compliance date for the Revision of the Nutrition Facts and Supplements Facts Labels, issued in May 2016, is July 26, 2018, which is more time than would have been permitted under a uniform compliance date … All food products subject to the January 1, 2020 compliance date must comply with the appropriate regulations when initially introduced into interstate commerce on or after January 1, 2020 …”
