大家好！

本周美国疾病预防控制中心《减盐电子周刊》包括即将举办对中老年人减钠的网络研讨会、建议营养成分标签修改意见和新的减钠相关的新资源。

关于在集体订餐和家庭送餐食物中减少钠的网络研讨会即将召开

题为“百万份餐，百万颗心®：减少集体订餐和家庭送餐食物中钠含量”的网络研讨会即将召开，敬请留意。该研讨会将于美国东部时间2014年3月13日星期四下午3：00-4:30举办。研讨会内容将重点关注如何在集体订餐和家庭送餐食物中实现国家对于钠摄入推荐量的目标，以及在“车轮上的膳食”项目（Meals on Wheels program ）中成功实施减钠策略对于2017年实现“预防一百万例心脏病和中风”这一目标有何帮助。该网络研讨会还将包含一个就如何与食品分销商合作共同实现减钠目标的讨论。本次研讨会将有“百万心脏”组织和全美营养与老龄资源中心共同主办，后者是美国卫生与人类服务部社区生活局支持的资源中心之一。

名额有限，报名请访问：https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2833489100459019777 。

美国食品和药物管理局对营养成分标签提出修改意见

近日，美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）提出了对包装食品的营养成分标签内容进行更新的意见。更新内容除了其它事项之外，将包括：

•          将钠的每日摄入值从2400毫克减少至2300毫克。

•          更新对分量的要求，以便能反映出已经吃过多少量。

•          要求将钾含量情况包含在食品标签上。

美国食品和药物管理局正在接受对该拟定规则的电子和书面意见建议，意见提交截止日期为2014年6月2日。您可以通过联邦电子决策门户网站http://www.regulations.gov网上提交您的意见。需更多信息，请访问以下链接：https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2014/03/03/2014-04387/food-labeling-revision-of-the-nutrition-and-supplement-facts-labels 和 https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2014/03/03/2014-04385/food-labeling-serving-sizes-of-foods-that-can-reasonably-be-consumed-at-one-eating-occasion，可查看联邦注册信息。

FDA Proposes Changes to Nutrition Facts Label

Recently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposed updates to the Nutrition Facts label for packaged foods. Among other things, the proposed updates would –

·         Reduce the Daily Value for sodium, from 2,400 mg to 2,300 mg.

·         Update serving size requirements to reflect amounts currently eaten.

·         Require that potassium be included on the food label.

FDA is accepting electronic and written comments on the proposed rule by June 2, 2014. Comments may be submitted electronically through the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. More information may be found here: http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm387418.htm.
