Eggs are Healthy! Pete and Gerry's Applauds FDA's Proposed Guideline Revisions for "Healthy" Labeling
MONROE, N.H., Sept. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Pete and Gerry's Organic Eggs applauds the proposal by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to update the definition for the implied nutrient content claim "healthy" to be consistent with current nutrition science and Federal dietary guidance. For Pete and Gerry's, this is a long-sought clarification as eggs will now be classified as a "nutrient-dense" food, which, under the Dietary Guidelines, 2020-2025, is defined as foods and beverages that provide vitamins, minerals, and other health-promoting components and have little added sugars, saturated fat, and sodium.
