The International Dairy Foods Association filed detailed comments with the Food and Drug Administration at the end of July challenging the regulator’s proposals to change nutrient content claims, to require labeling of added sugars and to increase the serving size of ice cream.
In a statement, the Washington, D.C.-based trade group said that overall it agrees that “updating the label is important to ensure that consumers get the information they need and that it reflects the best nutritional science available. However, a number of the proposed changes raised concerns about the underlying science and their likely impact on consumer understanding.”
