The shifting definition of healthy
The shifting landscape of what is and what isn’t “healthy” is difficult one to navigate for consumers these days. In the afterburner of the low-fat craze, consumers are on the hunt for “all-natural”, non-GMO, even gluten-free ingredients.
Now, the FDA is stepping in to define for consumers exactly what healthy is now. That should fix it.
On Tuesday, the US Food and Drug Administration announced it was beginning the process of redefining which foods can be labeled as “healthy” on packaging. However, the FDA doesn’t have a new definition yet, forcing both shoppers and food makers to get creative with their interpretations of the term.
