Inaction on Citizen Petition Seeking FDA Rulemaking to Update the Required Nutrition Information at Chain Restaurants to Include Added Sugars for Standard Menu Items

The Center for Science in the Public Interest submits this letter requesting a meeting to discuss the status of the citizen petition we submitted to the Food and Drug Administration on January 31, 2022, as well as concerning draft Guidance recently issued by the Agency.

Our petition requested that FDA amend 21 C.F.R. § 101.11(b)(2)(ii) to include added sugars among the nutrients for which information is required to be available in written form on the premises of covered establishments and provided to the customer on request.
