ASTA Comments on the USDA Definition of the Term Natural

ASTA signed onto an FBIA coalition letter to the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) in July 2023 providing feedback on the FDA's “Food Labeling in Online Grocery Shopping; Request for Information” to provide general comments about the labeling of foods and the scope of FDA’s request. Comments include requests for flexibility and consistency with exemptions in existing nutrition labeling requirements.

The coalition of food growers and producers identified as signatories to the attached letter (the “Food Coalition”) provide comments on a possible change to the naturally occurring regulation that implements Proposition 65, section 25501(a)(3).
