In this way, the <a href=\"https:\/\/demos-global.com\/en\/fda-registration\/\">regulations of the FDA<\/a> (&#8220;Food and Drug Administration&#8221;), the US federal agency that depends on the Department of Health and that is mainly concerned with the regulation of imports of food products, has proposed changes in nutrition labeling that affects the labels of American products.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Changes in food labeling regulations for exports<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The main differences with respect to previous <a href=\"https:\/\/demos-global.com\/en\/export\/\">food labeling regulations for exports in the United States<\/a> are based on a series of criteria that have to do with the contribution of the nutritional value of said foods. Among the most prominent differences and changes we can differentiate:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Changes in Daily Values \u200b\u200band which nutrients are included within Nutrition Facts. The main changes are determined by:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Calories<\/strong> from Fat are no longer displayed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Vitamin D<\/strong> and potassium become mandatory nutrients while vitamin A and vitamin C become voluntary nutrients.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Added sugars<\/strong> must now be declared as part of Carbohydrates. We will have to make sure as a company to take note of the proposed definition of added sugars that include not only sugar (sucrose), but also the other free, mono and disaccharides, such as corn syrup , dextrose, fruit juice, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>The daily value of the following five vitamins will be expressed in new units<\/strong>, each with its own conversion factors:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; Vitamin A in mcg RAE;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; Vitamin D in mcg;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; Vitamin E in mg;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; Niacin in NE mg;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; Folate in mcg DFE.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Daily Values \u200b\u200bhave been updated to reflect the latest recommendations from the National Academies of Sciences and other research. This resulted in changes in the daily values \u200b\u200bof up to 25 nutrients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-42154 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/demos-global.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/mathilde-langevin-IKHTZqFf7qw-unsplash-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/demos-global.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/mathilde-langevin-IKHTZqFf7qw-unsplash-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/demos-global.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/mathilde-langevin-IKHTZqFf7qw-unsplash-1-320x480.jpg 320w, https:\/\/demos-global.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/mathilde-langevin-IKHTZqFf7qw-unsplash-1-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/demos-global.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/mathilde-langevin-IKHTZqFf7qw-unsplash-1-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/demos-global.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/mathilde-langevin-IKHTZqFf7qw-unsplash-1-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/demos-global.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/mathilde-langevin-IKHTZqFf7qw-unsplash-1-640x960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/demos-global.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/mathilde-langevin-IKHTZqFf7qw-unsplash-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/demos-global.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/mathilde-langevin-IKHTZqFf7qw-unsplash-1-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/demos-global.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/mathilde-langevin-IKHTZqFf7qw-unsplash-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/demos-global.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/mathilde-langevin-IKHTZqFf7qw-unsplash-1-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/demos-global.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/mathilde-langevin-IKHTZqFf7qw-unsplash-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/demos-global.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/mathilde-langevin-IKHTZqFf7qw-unsplash-1-1080x1620.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/demos-global.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/mathilde-langevin-IKHTZqFf7qw-unsplash-1-1200x1800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/demos-global.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/mathilde-langevin-IKHTZqFf7qw-unsplash-1-1280x1920.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/demos-global.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/mathilde-langevin-IKHTZqFf7qw-unsplash-1-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/demos-global.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/mathilde-langevin-IKHTZqFf7qw-unsplash-1-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Food labels: nutritional information and ingredients<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On the other hand, the novelties in consumption portions that must be included in <strong>the new forms of food labeling for exports to the US also stand out in order to facilitate the nutritional information of said foods<\/strong>.
