| 98-375 | Food Labeling; Serving Sizes; Reference Amounts for Candies | Proposed Rule | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend the nutrition labeling regulations to modify the product category ``Sugars and Sweets: Hard candies, others'' by adding ``after-dinner mints, caramels, fondants (e.g., plain mints, candy corn), and liquid and powdered candies'' as kinds of products included under the category, and a reference amount customarily consumed per eating occasion (reference amount) of 15 milliliters (mL) for liquid candies; create a new product category under ``Sugars and Sweets,'' identified as ``Chocolate-covered fondants (e.g., chocolate-covered creams, chocolate-covered mints), taffy, and plain toffee,'' with a reference amount of 30 grams (g); and clarify what kinds of candies belong to the ``All other candies'' product category by expanding the category name to include specific examples. This proposal is in response to two petitions and two letters submitted to the agency. The proposed changes are based on information provided in the letters and on analyses of the petitioners' data and of the most recent candy consumption data available from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) 1994 and 1995 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII). | 1998-01-08 | 1998 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1998/01/08/98-375/food-labeling-serving-sizes-reference-amounts-for-candies | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1998-01-08/pdf/98-375.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Food and Drug Administration | 221,199 | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend the nutrition labeling regulations to modify the product category ``Sugars and Sweets: Hard candies, others'' by adding ``after-dinner mints, caramels, fondants (e.g., plain mints, candy... |
