Proposed rule (January 2025), not yet final. FDA has said it may change it.
Values per serving, as declared on your Nutrition Facts panel.
| Nutrient | Per serving | %DV | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saturated Fat | 3.5 g | 18% | Med |
| Sodium | 95 mg | 4% | Low |
| Added Sugars | 9 g | 18% | Med |

What the proposal says
Thresholds. Each nutrient is rated on its %DV per serving: Low at 5% or less, Med from 6% to 19%, High at 20% or more. The proposal uses the same thresholds for every food, including small servings, meals and main dishes.
Placement. Upper third of the principal display panel, black or one colour on a white or neutral background, type at least 8 point and no smaller than the net quantity statement. Nothing else goes inside the box.
Who would be exempt. Foods exempt from Nutrition Facts, packages under 12 sq in of labeling area, gift packs, and unit containers inside a multipack that carries the box. Foods for children under 4 and dietary supplements are outside the proposal.
Timing if finalised as proposed. Compliance 3 years after the effective date for businesses with $10 million or more in annual food sales, 4 years for smaller businesses. Source: 90 FR 5426, 16 January 2025 (docket FDA-2024-N-2910).
