establishing new principles for Nutrient reference values nrvs for food Labeling purposes
Nutrition Research and Practice, 2007Co-Authors: Allison A YatesAbstract:Many countries such as The Republic of Korea have established their own nutritional standards, collectively termed Nutrient Reference Values(NRVs), and they vary due to the science which was reviewed, the purposes for which they are developed, and issues related to nutrition and food policy in the country. The current effort by the Codex Alimentarius Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses (CNFSDU) to update the NRVs that were established following the Helsinki Consultation in 1988 represents an opportunity to develop a set of reference values reflecting current scientific information to be used or adapted by many countries. This paper will focus on possible approaches to selecting or developing reference values which would serve the intended purpose for nutrition Labeling to the greatest extent possible. Within the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA) is currently reviewing regulations on nutrition Labeling to better address current health issues, and is expected to enter into a process in the next few months to begin to explore how best to update Nutrient Daily Values (DVs), most of which are still based on the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) of the Food and Nutrition Board, U.S. National Academy of Sciences, last reviewed and revised in 1968. In this presentation, I review the current purposes in the U.S. for nutrition Labeling as identified in the 1938 Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act as amended, the scientific basis for current nutrition Labeling regulations in the United States, and the recommendations made by the recent Committee on Use of Dietary Reference Intakes in Nutrition Labeling of the Institute of Medicine (2003) regarding how to use the DRIs in developing new DVs to be used on the label in the United States and Canada. Based on these reviews, I then provide examples of the issues that arise in comparing one approach to another. Much of the discussion focuses on the appropriate role of Nutrient Labeling within the Nutrition Facts panel, one of the three major public nutrition education tools in the United States (along with MyPyramid and Dietary Guidelines for Americans).

The regulatory process to revise Nutrient Labeling relative to the Dietary Reference Intakes
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2006Co-Authors: Barbara O. Schneeman, Paula R. Trumbo, Kathleen C. Ellwood, Felicia SatchellAbstract:The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 -an amendment to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act-paved the way for significant changes in the Labeling of foods, Nutrient content, and health claims. This article gives an overview of the regulatory process used by the US Food and Drug Administration to revise the food label relative to the Dietary Reference Intakes and in ways that reflect new scientific knowledge and public health issues.
