The new symbol will follow a long-awaited update to the FDA’s definition, due to be published this April, of what foods can claim to be healthy to eat under federal rules.
The FDA’s attempts to revise the definition have drawn hundreds of comments since they were floated back in 2016 under the Obama administration.
Conagra manufactures the Healthy Choice brand of frozen meals, which the company says makes it “the largest industry stakeholder impacted” by the changes.
A proposal for that rule is scheduled to be published by June, following focus group testing of several different designs to call out unhealthy levels of things like saturated fat, sodium and added sugars.
Previous trials by the agency have looked at a variety of designs created to fit on the front of everything from bottled sports drinks to boxed frozen foods.
Jones said the FDA had now settled on a final design that “consumers best understood” in the focus groups, but declined to share details of which was picked.
