The topic of today’s conversation is the updated FDA definition of what qualifies as “healthy” on food labels.
Topics we’ll be covering in this episode:
- How the old 1994 “healthy” food label system worked and its limitations.
- The changes in the new FDA definition and what they mean for consumers.
- Whether labeling foods as “healthy” actually impacts our choices and eating habits.
The big question we’re answering: How does the updated “healthy” food label definition help us make better choices, and does it truly matter in the pursuit of a healthier diet?
