SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA
has submitted the following proposed
collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.
Food Labeling Regulations—(OMB
Control Number 0910–0381)—Extension
FDA regulations require food
producers to disclose to consumers and
others specific information about
themselves or their products on the
label or labeling of their products.
Related regulations require that food
producers retain records establishing
the basis for the information contained
in the label or labeling of their products
and provide those records to regulatory
officials. Finally, certain regulations
provide for the submission of food
labeling petitions to FDA. FDA’s food
labeling regulations under parts 101,
102, 104, and 105 (21 CFR parts 101,
102, 104, and 105) were issued under
the authority of sections 4, 5, and 6 of
the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (the
FPLA) (15 U.S.C. 1453, 1454, and 1455)
and under sections 201, 301, 402, 403,
409, 411, 701, and 721 of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act)
(21 U.S.C. 321, 331, 342, 343, 348, 350,
371, and 379e). Most of these
regulations derive from section 403 of
the act, which provides that a food
product shall be deemed to be
misbranded if, among other things, its
label or labeling fails to bear certain
required information concerning the
food product, is false or misleading in
any particular, or bears certain types of
unauthorized claims. The disclosure
requirements and other collections of
information in the regulations in parts
101, 102, 104, and 105 are necessary to
ensure that food products produced or
sold in the United States are in
compliance with the labeling provisions
of the act and the FPLA.
Section 101.3 of FDA’s food labeling
regulations requires that the label of a
food product in packaged form bear a
statement of identity (i.e., the name of
the product), including, as appropriate,
the form of the food or the name of the
food imitated. Section 101.4 prescribes
PO 00000
Frm 00047
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
53743
requirements for the declaration of
ingredients on the label or labeling of
food products in packaged form. Section
101.5 requires that the label of a food
product in packaged form specify the
name and place of business of the
manufacturer, packer, or distributor
and, if the food producer is not the
manufacturer of the food product, its
connection with the food product.
Section 101.9 requires that nutrition
information be provided for all food
products intended for human
consumption and offered for sale, unless
an exemption in § 101.9(j) applies to the
product. Section 101.9(g)(9) also
provides for the submission to FDA of
requests for alternative approaches to
nutrition labeling. Finally, § 101.9(j)(18)
provides for the submission to FDA of
notices from firms claiming the small
business exemption from nutrition
labeling. FDA has developed Form FDA
3570 to assist small businesses in
claiming the small business exemption
from nutrition labeling. The form
contains all the elements required by
§ 101.9(j)(18).
Section 101.10 requires that
restaurants provide nutrition
information, upon request, for any food
or meal for which a nutrient content
claim or health claim is made. Section
101.12(b) provides the reference amount
that is used for determining the serving
sizes for specific products, including
baking powder, baking soda, and pectin.
Section 101.12(e) provides that a
manufacturer that adjusts the reference
amount customarily consumed (RACC)
of an aerated food for the difference in
density of the aerated food relative to
the density of the appropriate
nonaerated reference food must be
prepared to show FDA detailed
protocols and records of all data that
were used to determine the densityadjusted RACC. Section 101.12(g)
requires that the label or labeling of a
food product disclose the serving size
that is the basis for a claim made for the
product if the serving size on which the
claim is based differs from the RACC.
Section 101.12(h) provides for the
submission of petitions to FDA to
request changes in the reference
amounts defined by regulation.
Section 101.13 requires that nutrition
information be provided in accordance
with § 101.9 for any food product for
which a nutrient content claim is made.
Under some circumstances, § 101.13
also requires the disclosure of other
types of information as a condition for
the use of a nutrient content claim. For
example, under § 101.13(j), if the claim
compares the level of a nutrient in the
food with the level of the same nutrient
in another ‘‘reference’’ food, the claim
