The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is extending the comment period for a docket to receive information and comments on the use of the term "healthy" in the labeling of human food products. We established the docket through a notice that appeared in the Federal Register of September 28, 2016. In the notice, we requested comments on the term "healthy", generally, and as a nutrient content claim in the context of food labeling; we also requested comments on specific questions contained in the notice. We are taking this action in response to requests for an extension to allow interested persons additional time to submit comments.
