Products, Labeling, and Dietary

Washington, DC 20204, 202–205–5372.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. The Citizen Petition

CSPI, in a citizen petition filed on

August 4, 1999, requested that the

agency establish a DRV of 40 grams for

added sugars and require the

declaration of added sugars in nutrition

labeling in both grams per serving and

a corresponding percent Daily Value.

CSPI also requested that FDA define

nutrient content claims for added

sugars. Finally, CSPI requested that,

when nutrient content or health claims

are made about a food, meal product, or

main dish product, FDA set, in addition

to the limits on other nutrients

described in the current regulations,

limits and require disclosure of the total

amount of added sugars for these

claims.

CSPI’s ground for its petition is that

the labeling provision for added sugars

is necessary as a public health measure

to give consumers the tools they need to

reduce their intake of added sugars.

CSPI states in the petition that based on

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)

data, the per capita consumption of

added sugars has risen 28 percent since

1983, and that, in some people, diets

with large amounts of added sugars

contribute to obesity, the prevalence of

which has risen dramatically in the last

two decades in both youths and adults.

CSPI also asserts that diets with added

sugars, from such foods as soft drinks,

fruit drinks, candy, cakes, and cookies,

include fewer healthier foods that

provide nutrients that reduce the risk of

osteoporosis, cancer, heart disease,

stroke, and other health problems. In

addition, CSPI states that frequent

consumption of foods with added sugars

promotes tooth decay.

CSPI asserts that it is impossible for

consumers to determine how much

sugar has been added to foods such as

yogurt, ice cream, fruit snacks, and juice

drinks using current labels. In addition,

CSPI states that current labels fail to

inform consumers about the proportion

of a reasonable day’s intake of added

sugars that a serving of food provides.

CSPI maintains that, although USDA

provided quantitative dietary

recommendations for added sugars in

The Food Guide Pyramid, without

labeling of added sugars, it is difficult

for consumers to follow such

recommendations. USDA’s quantitative

recommendation serves as the basis for

CSPI’s request for a DRV of 40 grams for

added sugars.

II. FDA Background

FDA addressed comments on added

sugars in the January 6, 1993, final rule

entitled ‘‘Food Labeling: Mandatory

Status of Nutrition Labeling and

Nutrient Content Revision, Format for

Nutrition Label’’ (58 FR 2079).

Comments had recommended

mandatory declaration of added sugars

only, rather than total sugars, in

nutrition labeling and either mandatory

or voluntary declaration of both added
