Some proposed amendments of the Labeling Standards for Foods are:
- Include pine nut as an allergen required to be stated on label and establish a guidance on food allergen labeling exemption for single-ingredient food.
- Require to state disclaimer "serving suggestion" if any picture on the package does not exactly match the food that is in the package.
- Names and percentages of ingredients are required to be stated on the principal display panel if any picture on the package depicts ingredients of food or states the name of ingredients.
The deadline for comments is December 16, 2017.
