In 2016, FDA published new requirements for food nutrition labeling that significantly change the appearance of the Nutrition Facts panels and the information required to be declared on the label. FDA provided time for companies to implement the changes and recently announced the dates by which food products marketed in the US must comply with the new requirements.
The new requirements include changes to the format of the Nutrition Facts panel, rounding rules for the nutrient values, and the Reference Daily Intakes (RDIs) used to calculate the %Daily Values (%DVs). For example, the old RDI for Total Carbohydrate was 300g and the new RDI is 275g. So if a food contains 10g of Total Carbohydrate per serving, the original %DV was 10/300 = 3%. But under the new RDI, the %DV is now 10/275 which rounds to 4%.
Also, you must now declare Added Sugars in addition to Total Sugars. For example, if the product is a fruit juice that contains 30g of Total Sugar per serving, but only 20g of sugar per serving naturally occurs in the juice (the remaining 10g is added to the product), then you would need to declare 30g of Total Sugar and 10g of Added Sugar in the Nutrition Facts panel.
