The New and Improved Nutrition Facts Label – Key Changes
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has finalized a new Nutrition Facts label for packaged foods that will make it easier for you to make informed food choices that
support a healthy diet. The updated label has a fresh new design and reflects current scientific information, including the link between diet and chronic diseases.
1. Servings
The number of “servings per
container” and the “Serving Size”
declaration have increased and are
now in larger and/or bolder type.
Serving sizes have been updated to
reflect what people actually eat and
drink today. For example, the serving
size for ice cream was previously
½ cup and now is ¾ cup.
There are also new requirements
for certain size packages, such as
those that are between one and two
servings or are larger than a single
serving but could be consumed in
one or multiple sittings.
2. Calories
“Calories” is now larger and bolder.
3. Fats
“Calories from Fat” has been
removed because research shows
the type of fat consumed is more
important than the amount.
4. Added Sugars
“Added Sugars” in grams and as
a percent Daily Value (%DV) is
now required on the label. “Added
Sugars” include sugars that have
been added during the processing
or packaging of a food. Scientific

businesses will have an additional year to comply. During this transition time,
you will see the current Nutrition Facts label or the new label on products.
The lists of nutrients that are
required or permitted on the label
have been updated. Vitamin D and
potassium are now required on
the label because Americans do
not always get the recommended
amounts. Vitamins A and C are no
longer required since deficiencies
of these vitamins are rare today. The
actual amount in grams in addition
to the %DV must be listed for vitamin
D, calcium, iron, and potassium.
The daily values for nutrients have
also been updated based on newer
scientific evidence. The daily values
are reference amounts of nutrients
to consume or not to exceed and are
used to calculate the %DV.
6. Footnote
The footnote at the bottom of the
label has changed to better explain
the meaning of %DV. The %DV
helps you understand the nutrition
information in the context of a total

NOTA DE MERCADO
INFORMACIÓN REGULATORIA
IVACE NUEVA YORK
SEPTIEMBRE 2016
NOTA DE MERCADO: INFORMACIÓN REGULATORIA
1/7
FDA: Se aprueba el nuevo etiquetado nutricional
La FDA finalizó el pasado mes de mayo la aprobación de la nueva etiqueta de información nutricional para
los alimentos envasados. Este nuevo etiquetado nutricional pretende reflejar datos científicos más
recientes sobre nutrición, como es el vínculo que existe entre la alimentación y las enfermedades crónicas
que afectan al país, como son la obesidad o enfermedades cardiacas. La nueva etiqueta pretende facilitar
la toma de decisiones de los consumidores a la hora de elegir su alimentación.
El nuevo etiquetado ha sido recibido favorablemente por la industria alimentaria estadounidense que
considera oportuna la actualización en un momento en que las dietas, los patrones de alimentación y
preferencias de los consumidores han cambiado drásticamente desde que se introdujo por primera vez el
panel de información nutricional.
Básicamente las novedades son:
Diseño renovado
o
La imagen “emblemática” de la etiqueta se preserva, pero se introduce el aumento del tamaño
de la letra para las declaraciones de Calorías, Porciones por envase ( servings per container),
Tamaño de la porción (serving size), y cambiar a negrita el número de calorías y la declaración
de “Tamaño de la porción” para destacar esta información.
o
Los fabricantes deberán declarar la cantidad real, además del porcentaje del valor nutricional
diario de vitamina D, calcio, hierro y potasio. También pueden declarar la cantidad en gramos
de otras vitaminas y minerales de manera voluntaria. Pero ya no es obligatorio declarar las
vitaminas A y vitamina C.
o
La nota que aparece al pie de la etiqueta se ha modificado también para explicar mejor lo que
significa “porcentaje del valor nutricional diario” de una forma más coloquial. Ahora deberá decir:
“*The % Daily Value tells you how much a nutrient in a serving of food contributes to a daily diet.
2,000 calories a day is used for general nutrition advice.”
2/7
Información actualizada sobre la ciencia de la nutrición
o
En el nuevo formato se incluyen en la etiqueta los “Azúcares añadidos” (Added Sugars), en
gramos y como porcentaje del valor nutricional diario. Los datos científicos demuestran que es
difícil satisfacer las necesidades nutricionales y mantenerse dentro de los límites calóricos si más
del 10 por ciento de las calorías diarias totales que uno consume provienen de azúcares añadidos,
coincidiendo con Guía de Alimentación para los estadounidenses de 2015-2020.
o
La lista de nutrientes que está permitido o es obligatorio declarar se actualiza. Ahora la vitamina
D y el potasio serán obligatorios en la etiqueta, y el calcio y el hierro seguirán siéndolo. Las
vitaminas A y C ya no serán obligatorias, pero pueden incluirse de forma voluntaria.
o
Aunque sigue exigiéndose el contenido de “Total Fat”, “Satured Fat” y “trans Fat” en la etiqueta,
el de las “Calories from Fat” se eliminará porque las investigaciones indican que el tipo de grasa
es más importante que la cantidad.
o
Los valores diarios (Daily Value -DV%) son las cantidades de referencia para los nutrientes que
hay que consumir o no exceder, y se usan para calcular el porcentaje del valor nutricional diario
(%VD) que los fabricantes incluyen en la etiqueta. El %VD ayuda a los consumidores a entender
la información nutricional dentro del marco de una dieta diaria completa. Para la nueva etiqueta,
los valores diarios de nutrientes tales como sodio, fibra y vitamina D han sido también
actualizados.
Actualizar el tamaño de las porciones y los requisitos de etiquetado para
los envases de ciertos tamaños
o
Por ley, las porciones deben basarse en las cantidades de alimentos y bebidas que la gente
consume en realidad y no en las que debería de consumir. Cuánto come y bebe la gente es algo
que ha cambiado desde que los requisitos de tamaño de la porción anteriores fueran publicados
en 1993. Por ejemplo, la cantidad de referencia empleada para definir una porción de helado
antes era de ½ taza, pero está cambiando a ⅔ de taza. La cantidad de referencia empleada para
definir una porción de refresco también está cambiando, de 8 onzas (237 ml) a 12 oz (355 ml)
(Figure 1).
o
El tamaño del envase afecta lo que la gente consume. Así que, para los envases de una a dos
porciones, tales como un refresco de 20 onzas (591 ml) o una lata de sopa de 15 (444 ml), será
obligatorio indicar las calorías y otros nutrientes en la etiqueta como una sola porción, ya que las
personas por lo general los consumen de una sola vez.
3/7
o
Para ciertos productos de más de una porción, pero que podrían consumirse en una sola o en
varias raciones servidas, los fabricantes deberán incluir etiquetas con “columnas paralelas” para
indicar la cantidad de calorías y nutrientes tanto “por porción” como “por paquete”/“por
envase”/“por unidad”. Algunos ejemplos serían una botella de refresco de 24 onzas (710 ml), o
una pinta (473 ml) de helado. Con la disponibilidad de etiquetas con columnas paralelas, las
personas podrán saber con facilidad cuántas calorías y nutrientes estarán ingiriendo si comen o
beben el paquete o envase entero de una sola vez.
Figure 1: Cambios en el tamaño de las porciones
4/7
Las novedades indicadas se pueden observar en la Figure 2, mientras que en la Figure 3 se puede ver una
comparación respecto al panel nutricional original.
Figure 2: Resumen de las novedades del nuevo panel nutricional
5/7
Figure 3: Comparación del nuevo panel nutricional con el original
6/7
Plazos para el cumplimiento
Los fabricantes deberán adoptar la nueva etiqueta en unos dos años (2018). Sin embargo, aquellos cuyas
ventas de alimentos sean menores de 10 millones de dólares anuales tendrán un año adicional para
cumplir con este requisito (2019).

Internacional en Nueva York.

introducir. También se incluye un documento con ejemplos de paneles nutricionales válidos, en varios
formatos.
