FDA Requests Information on Food Labeling in Grocery E-Commerce
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to learn more about the content, format, and accuracy of food labeling information provided through online grocery shopping platforms.
In October 2021, FDA highlighted labeling of grocery products sold online in a session at the agency’s New Era E-Commerce Summit, where FDA opened a public docket for comment. The agency is issuing the present RFI to solicit feedback from stakeholders about food labeling information that is provided through online grocery shopping platforms. Input will help FDA improve consumer access to consistent and accurate labeling information for packaged foods sold online.
