The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Sept. 28 proposed changes to what criteria certain food product should meet for it to be labeled “healthy.”

According to the FDA, the proposed rule would update the definition of “healthy” to “better account for how all the nutrients in various food groups contribute and may work synergistically to create healthy dietary patterns and improve health.”
