the use of the label “healthy” on a variety of foods has been a particular issue for many food quality advocacy groups. in their comments to the fda, the center for science in the public interest (cspi) urged fda officials to address the incongruity between current dietary recommendation/nutritional standards and their definition, cspi argued that the current definition is too ambiguous and sets a low health standard that allows processed foods with minimal and low nutritional value to use this definition to entice consumers into making poor health choices. the cspi claimed that the fda's current guidance on this issue could be potentially misleading and could incline customers to consume unhealthy foods without making informed decisions. cspi and their research suggested that a new standard and more adequate definition should make it more difficult for processed food brands to obtain and misuse the “healthy” food label, ultimately giving consumers a better ability to make informed decisions based on the nutritional and health quality of the food they consume as opposed to relatively unsubstantiated claims.
