Food Labeling Modernization Act of 2023

The Food Labeling Modernization Act of 2023 requires standardized front-of-package nutrition labeling to help consumers quickly identify healthier food options, including calorie information and highlights for added sugars, sodium, and saturated fat. It mandates specific disclosures about whole grain content, fruit/vegetable content, artificial ingredients, caffeine, and allergens on food packaging. The bill revises requirements for terms like "natural" and "healthy" to be more transparent, updates ingredient list formatting for better readability, and establishes a public database for food label information. These changes apply to most packaged foods sold in the United States, directly affecting manufacturers, retailers, and consumers. The law would require implementation of these labeling changes within three years of enactment.
