Sign-On Letter to Scott Gottlieb

Based on your clarification tweet on September 14, 2019—“Apologies, I misspoke today @politico event, actual delay on Nutrition Facts Label isn't out yet but we will propose closer to 18 months” —we assume that the interim final rule currently under review at the Office of Management and Budget will provide for a compliance date of January 2020 for large food manufacturers and January 2021 for small companies, defined by the Food and Drug Administration as those with annual sales of less than $10 million.

 

From a public health and consumer transparency perspective, we find this unacceptable.
