In May of 2016, the FDA announced that supplement manufacturers would be required to convert all nutrition facts panels to its newly developed format.
After an extension, manufacturers of over $10 million in sales now have until January 1, 2020 to convert all panels to the new format. As it stands today, the current nutrition facts panel format is over 20 years old. The required revisions are intended to more accurately reflect current consumer dietary habits, as well as updated science and research on the link between diet and chronic diseases.
