From now until July 26, 2018, the FDA labeling requirement remains unchanged? The final rule became effective July 26, 2016. Therefore companies can now use the new label on their products but food manufacturers would not be considered in violation until after the compliance date. The compliance date of this final rule is July 26, 2018 for manufacturers with more than $10million or more in annual food sales and July 26, 2019 for manufacturers with less than $10 million in annual foods sales.
