Less saturated fat, less sodium, less added sugar; manufacturers say almost no packaged foods would qualify under the agency’s new rules.

But the Food and Drug Administration’s efforts to update the current definition of “healthy” may drive parent company Conagra Brands in another direction entirely.

It’s the added sugar limit that has been the sticking point for many food executives. The FDA’s previous rules put limits around saturated fat and sodium but did not include limits on added sugars.The Consumer Brands Association, which represents 1,700 major food companies from General Mills to Pepsi, wrote a 54-page comment to the FDA in which it stated the proposed rule was overly restrictive and would result in a framework that would automatically disqualify a vast majority of packaged foods.

Cook whole foods at home. I'm talking pork, beef, chicken, etc., with a couple sides of fresh vegetables. You'll feel more satiated. It's also easier to monitor caloric intake. You might even have some fun 😉

I had a can of no sodium added organic vegetable soup recently. It was as good as you would expect.

I don't see how these standards are a bad thing.

How old is this photo?

It is simple. Manufacturers need to stop making food that is bad for people. They add unhealthy levels of saturated fat, salt & sugar to overly processed food to disguise its bad taste. Find a healthy way to make processed food taste good or stop selling it!

Good. It will still taste fine if there's less of that crap in it. It's the no fat, no sodium, no sugar stuff that tastes bad. They put waaay too much salt in processed food

Aight. You see how this regulation is showing us how bad processed food is?

Good about time , go FDA

Obesity is directly linked to over processed foods that have been allowed since Reagan. The chemicals are killing us.

OUR FOOD IS KILLING US AND GIVING US DISEASES THAT EUROEANS AND OTHERS ARE NOT. We need better food. We need to stop bending over to big food allowing chemicals and overly processed foods. Have you seen what has become of hormone issues and colon cancer in this country?

Good.

And? That’s why we need change.

Hold strong US_FDA

We need this!! 👏

Well done. People need to live while fabricants need to make money

Can we handle the truth?

About time the FDA got on board with reality instead of letting the food industry run the show. This is just another reason why the American system is rigged against the people’s well-being.

The trash the sell us is overpriced non healthy. Hopefully that change with whatever the FDA is doing, but I doubt it.

The thing in the photo isn’t food

and you are reporting this as a negative? Look around you, check your covid mortality rate compared to anywhere else and tell me the food you are eating is good for you

It is the reason for the whole food movement. Real food doesn't come boxed, it is sold in the produce department and is typically unadulterated by chemicals, preservatives, and added flavorings.

Hey food industry companies that oppose this new standard of what a healthy meal is: How about you try being part of the solution instead of part of the problem?!?!

Then they need to change their food products to make them healthier. Not change the rules to make their unhealthy products pass. Which would be gross.

É o que a RitaLobo sempre diz.

My mom bought a lot of those for me way back when

Also, you'd need to cut the amount in half. And leave out that butter.

I remember those aluminum tray t.v. dinners, a long neck budweiser. 🤣🤣

Sounds like the railroad industry with brakes on tanker cars.

Want to eat healthy? Don't buy any foods with an ingredient label.

Stop eating industrial crap! Learn how to cook damn it!

I prefer the Atkinson Diet from a dentist in New Jersey: Eat food that's delicious and always remember to clean your plate. Nelson DeMille: John Corey novels. nelsondemille

Good we are being fed industrial grade poison lmao

That's good. Americans need to stop with the processed foods.

Turkey TV dinner = comfort food

So we should eat less packaged foods to become healthier. Got it.

It’s about time US_FDA go after added sugars. We need less sugar in “healthy” labeled processed foods.

Good. Then they'll have to find healthier ways to produce their food products.

Biden administration POTUS wants HEALTHY food for Americans.

Democrats destroy everything they touch..

Ok. Good

😂

Why not be in the morning

Good

They’re so close to getting it…

And still seed oils not getting rid of the problem

It was a good day when mom pulled these out of the freezer. The potatoes didn't look good but they were amazing!

Wapo looks at poor people food and can't quite understand.

We’ll look back on the shit considered packaged “food” now like we do now with people smoking cigarettes and everywhere for years.

Better don't put any kind of chemicals ingredient inside of the food for human yaaw, because people who lives in the city they already use to eat a fast food.

That’s a great argument for keeping the new rules.

this is an opportunity for the real healthy food industry to grow US_FDA please do not back down

Good.

should really tell you something about packaged foods…

The IRGCterrorist regime will soon take the whole world hostage by building an atomic bomb🆘🆘🆘 Ukraine حمله_شیمیایی_به_مدارس
