I. Background
We are announcing the availability of
a draft guidance for industry entitled
‘‘Reference Amounts Customarily
Consumed: List of Products for Each
Product Category.’’ We are issuing the
draft guidance consistent with our good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR
10.115). The draft guidance, when
finalized, will represent the current
VerDate Sep<11>2014
21:06 Jan 04, 2017
Jkt 241001
thinking of the FDA on which products
belong to product categories included in
the tables of RACCs per Eating Occasion
established in § 101.12(b) (21 CFR
101.12(b)). This draft guidance does not
establish any rights for any person and
is not binding on FDA or the public.
You can use an alternate approach if it
satisfies the requirements of the
applicable statutes and regulations.
We intend for this draft guidance,
when finalized, to help industry comply
with the statutory requirement, under
section 403(q)(1)(A)(i) of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the
FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 343(q)(1)(A)(i)),
that food that is intended for human
consumption and offered for sale bear
nutrition information that provides a
serving size that reflects the amount of
food customarily consumed and is
expressed in a common household
measure that is appropriate to the food.
To comply with this requirement,
manufacturers must determine and label
their food products with the appropriate
label serving size based on the amount
of the product customarily consumed.
In the Federal Register of May 27,
2016, we issued a final rule entitled
‘‘Food Labeling: Serving Sizes of Foods
That Can Reasonably Be Consumed At
One Eating Occasion; Dual-Column
Labeling; Updating, Modifying, and
Establishing Certain Reference Amounts
Customarily Consumed; Serving Size for
Breath Mints; and Technical
Amendments’’ (81 FR 34000). The final
rule amends our regulations in
§ 101.12(b) to update or modify certain
pre-existing RACCs, and to establish
RACCs for new product categories.
The draft guidance, when finalized,
will help manufacturers identify the
appropriate food category to which their
product belongs, on which information
manufacturers will be able to base the
label serving size. The RACCs
established in § 101.12(b) are divided
into two tables: One for infants and
young children 1 through 3 years of age,
and another for the general food supply
(i.e., individuals four years and older).
The draft guidance, when finalized, will
provide examples of products that
belong to product categories for which
a RACC has been established in
§ 101.12(b). The tables in the draft
guidance are not meant to be an allinclusive list of products that are
available on the market for each product
category.
