US: FDA updates 30-year-old definition of 'healthy' food

Now, 'healthy' product must contain certain amount of food from one or more groups such as fruit, vegetables, grains, dairy, protein

Packaged foods in the U.S. will have to follow new rules in order to call themselves "healthy," according to changes finalized by the Food and Drug Administration.

It's an update of the agency's definition originally devised 30 years ago. The move is aimed at helping Americans navigate food labels at the grocery store and make choices that are aligned with federal dietary guidelines—in hopes of reducing rates of diet-related chronic disease, the FDA said.
