on august 19, 2009, the fda wrote a letter to scp manager saying: "fda and fsis would be concerned if any fop labeling systems used criteria that were not stringent enough to protect consumers against misleading claims, were inconsistent with the dietary guidelines for americans, or had the effect of encouraging consumers to choose highly processed foods and refined grains instead of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains." scp was suspended in 2009 after the fda's announcement that they will be addressing both on front-of- package and on-shelf systems. scp chair mike hughes said: "it is more appropriate to postpone active operations and channel our information and learning to the agency to support their initiative."
