The US health agencies have postponed a decision to update the definition of 'healthy' on food labels, giving manufacturers a temporary reprieve. The move, which delays the ruling by over two months, affects the nutrient content claim that food producers can use voluntarily on packaging. This decision may impact the way consumers make informed choices about their diet and nutrition. With the rise of health-conscious eating and clean eating trends, the definition of 'healthy' food is more important than ever. The delay may also influence food industry regulations and nutrition standards.
