Business Wire
Oct 26, 2009
Unilever has long been committed to clear, transparent nutritional
information for consumers, and therefore welcomes the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration’s (FDA) announced plans to develop standardized criteria
on which future front-of-package nutrition or shelf labeling will be
based.
In light of the FDA’s announcement, Unilever has decided to transition
out of the current Smart Choices Program (SCP) logo. Unilever awaits
FDA’s direction on future front-of-package nutrition labeling.
Unilever will continue to support the SCP coalition’s nutritional and
scientific efforts while awaiting FDA guidance.
