据美国食品药品管理局消息，7月8日美国FDA发布通告，延长自动售卖机产品卡路里标示实施日期至2018年7月26日。本次延长通知将在联邦公报刊出。

　　几个食品贸易组织联合致信美国FDA表示，实施食品正面包装（FOP）卡路里标识的规格要求存在技术性障碍，要求将FOP卡路里标识规格定为净重标识的150%。然而美国FDA终期条例要求按照包装标识最大字号的50%进行标注。认识到企业实施的困难后，美国FDA将出台拟定条例并征求意见。

　　部分原文报道如下：

　　The U.S. Food and Drug Administration （FDA） is extending the compliance date for final calorie declaration requirements for certain food products sold from glass-front vending machines to July 26, 2018.  FDA intends to formally announce the extension in the Federal Register in the near future.

　　Several trade associations requested the extension for glass-front vending machines because of concerns regarding the requirements for the size of front-of-pack （FOP） calorie disclosures.  In a letter to FDA, the trade associations stated that the type size requirement for FOP labeling presents significant technical challenges and asked that the requirement be changed to 150 percent of the size of the net quantity of contents, which is the statement on the label that provides the amount of food in the container or package.  They noted that current voluntary FOP labeling programs require calorie information to be presented in a type size that ranges from 100 to 150 percent of the size of the net weight contents statement on the FOP label.  FDA's final rule currently requires a type size of 50 percent of the size of the largest printed matter on the label.  FDA recognizes industry's concern about technical challenges and will issue a proposed rule for comment.
