The FDA is delaying implementation of a rule that would require food companies to print nutritional information on the front labels of their products.

The proposed rule was developed by President Biden’s Administration with a comment period on it scheduled to close on May 16. The rule is designed to help consumers make better choices to avoid chronic health problems. Such problems and consumer choices about nutrition are things President Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has repeatedly touted.

Even though hundreds of comments have been filed about the proposed rule, Kennedy’s Food and Drug Administration is delaying the close of the comment period by 60 days. Most of the comments filed so far have come from food companies and food industry trade organizations.

“A 60-day comment period extension allows adequate time for interested parties to submit comments while also not significantly delaying rulemaking on the important issues in the proposed rule,” according to the FDA’s announcement about the delay.
