Executive Summary
FDA CONSIDERING ENFORCEMENT DELAY FOR DSHEA LABELING REGS, Office of Food Labeling Director Edward Scarbrough, PhD, said at a Sept. 18 session of the Council for Responsible Nutrition's 1995 Annual Conference. Responding to a question on whether industry will have adequate time to comply with the regs once they are published, Scarbrough said the effective date of Dec. 31, 1996 is unlikely to be extended. "To do so formally would require congressional action," he noted. However, "FDA could announce enforcement discretion" as the agency has done in similar situations "in the past," he said.
