FSIS’s Label Submission and Approval System
(LSAS) is a web-based software application that
integrates and implements an electronic label
application process for establishments to submit
label applications to FSIS.
allowed for food products under FDA
jurisdiction under FDA’s 2016 guidance.
There are few labels that qualify for the
‘‘healthy’’ claim under the allowances
in this notice that wouldn’t qualify
otherwise. According to FSIS’s Label
Submission and Approval System
(LSAS)
2
data, the types of products
utilizing FDA’s guidance for the claim
‘‘healthy’’ are mostly products that meet
the definition of meal-type in
317.313(l)/381.413(l). Egg product labels
are not affected by this policy because
FSIS inspected egg products are
required by regulation to use the FDA
nutrition requirements in 21 CFR part
101 in compliance with 9 CFR
590.411(e)—as such, egg product
labeling follows the FDA nutrition panel
and the FDA enforcement discretion
even though FSIS’s Labeling and
Program Delivery Staff (LPDS) reviews
and approves FSIS inspected egg
product label applications. Because
FSIS has received multiple questions
from industry about our policy, FSIS is
announcing in this Federal Register
notice that it will continue to recognize
FDA’s 2016 guidance to alleviate
consumer confusion and promote
uniformity in the marketplace.
Specifically, FSIS has allowed and
will continue to allow the implied
nutrient content claim ‘‘healthy’’ on
foods that have a fat profile of
predominantly mono and
polyunsaturated fats (i.e. sum of
monounsaturated fats and
polyunsaturated fats are greater than the
total saturated fat content of food), but
do not meet the regulatory definition of
‘‘low fat,’’ as specified in 9 CFR
317.363(b)(1)/381.463(b)(1) or that
contain at least ten percent of the DV
per RACC of potassium or vitamin D as
one of the options in 9 CFR
317.363(b)(4) and 381.463(b)(4),
provided the remaining criteria for
healthy in 9 CFR 317.363 and 381.463
have been met.
FSIS’s LPDS has reviewed many
proposed labels referencing FDA’s
‘‘healthy’’ notice, and most have
contained errors and needed correction.
If a company wishes to use FDA’s
‘‘healthy’’ claim, they will first need to
submit at least one label sketch to LPDS
for approval.
A corporation’s parent-company only
needs to submit one label application
for a product produced in multiple
establishments that are owned by the
corporation. Subsequent similar labels
for other products that use FDA’s
‘‘healthy’’ claim can be generically
approved. Submitting one label and
receiving approval helps ensure that the
rest of the labels are in compliance with
FDA and FSIS regulations. Labels using
the modified ‘‘healthy’’ claim must be
submitted to LPDS in the new FDA
nutrition panel format.
FSIS will continue to allow the use of
implied nutrient content claim
‘‘healthy’’ on foods that have a fat
profile of predominantly mono and
polyunsaturated fats (i.e., sum of
monounsaturated fats and
polyunsaturated fats are greater than the
total saturated fat content of food), but
do not meet the regulatory definition of
‘‘low fat,’’ as specified in 9 CFR
317.363(b)(1) and 381.463(b)(1) or that
contain at least ten percent of the DV
per RACC of potassium or vitamin D as
one of the options in 9 CFR
317.363(b)(4) and 381.463(b)(4),
provided the remaining criteria for
healthy in 9 CFR 317.363 and 381.463
have been met until FSIS’s ‘‘healthy’’
regulations (9 CFR 317.363(b) and
381.463(b)) are amended through
rulemaking. FSIS will continue to
coordinate with FDA on any changes to
these regulations.
Additional Public Notification
Public awareness of all segments of
rulemaking and policy development is
important. Consequently, FSIS will
announce this Federal Register
publication on-line through the FSIS
web page located at: http://
www.fsis.usda.gov/federal-register. FSIS
will also announce and provide a link

Register notices, FSIS public meetings,

Constituent Update is available on the
FSIS web page. Through the web page,
FSIS is able to provide information to a
much broader, more diverse audience.
In addition, FSIS offers an email

automatic and customized access to
selected food safety news and
information. This service is available at:
