The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry entitled "Use of the Term `Healthy' in the Labeling of Human Food Products: Guidance for Industry." The guidance advises manufacturers who wish to use the implied nutrient content claim "healthy" to label their food products as provided by our regulations. More specifically, the guidance advises food manufacturers of our intent to exercise enforcement discretion with respect to the implied nutrient content claim "healthy" on foods that have a fat profile of predominantly mono and polyunsaturated fats, but do not meet the regulatory definition of "low fat", or that contain at least 10 percent of the Daily Value (DV) per reference amount customarily consumed (RACC) of potassium or vitamin D.
