Is there any regulation on timeline allowed to overstate sodium levels on the nutrition label? Our supplier is reducing the sodium content to comply with the FDA voluntary sodium reduction targets but didn't communicate this to us and we have excess amounts of packaging film on hand that will far exceed their reduction timeline.
Any thoughts?
While the USDA requires label approval, and you can get temporary approvals to run out existing stock even if a minor formulation change occurs, the FDA doesn't.
If sodium is originating from an ingredient under 2%, and you aren't making any claims on the package related to sodium content, there seems to be some flexibility:
