FDA reportedly mulls nutrition facts panel delay
Having agreed to delay implementing a final rule on disclosure of calories and other nutritional information on restaurant menus, the Food & Drug Administration reportedly is considering delaying implementation of a revamped nutrition facts panel on retail goods, according to media reports.
In testimony before House Appropriations Commitee's subcommittee on agriculture, FDA commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb said, "We're sensitive as well to the issues around the time frames of the nutrition facts label and food labeling and we're going to be taking a hard look at the implementation schedule," according to a report in Politico.
The updated labels were supposed to start being used in July 2018, but industry groups asked to push that back several years so it will line up with GMO ingredient disclosure rules that are expected out of USDA.
Industry groups have asked the FDA to delay the new food labels by three years.

FSIS focuses raw pork sampling for E. coli at slaughter facilities
USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) today reissued a notice clarifying that it the only raw pork samples the agency will analyze for Shiga-toxin producing E. coli (STEC) in the program’s second phase will be those collected from slaughter establishments.
FSIS said it will not analyze samples collected from non-slaughter plants for STEC in in the second phase of exploratory pork sampling, which will begin June 1.
Industry members had been pushing for the agency to focus its efforts at slaughterhouses.
However, FSIS said it will analyze all samples for Salmonella and indicator organisms.
The agency also has added one question to the sampling questionnaire to identify products produced by the in-house slaughter operation, and has provided new sampling instructions to inspectors of facilities that produce raw pork products.
