- On September 3, 2025, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced its submission of a proposed information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act.
- The proposed collection pertains to the FDA Food Safety and Nutrition Survey (FSANS) which assesses consumer knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to food safety and nutrition. A total of 5,000 respondents will be surveyed from a sample of approximately 25,000 households.
- Data from this survey is used to support rulemaking and educational campaigns. The proposed 2025 FSANS will contain many of the same questions and topics as previous surveys and FDA has indicated that updates may be included but specific changes have not yet been disclosed.
- Previous FSANS have covered a wide range of topics including nutrition label use, menu labeling awareness, front-of-pack claims, and food safety practices.
- Public comments on the proposed collection are invited until October 3, 2025. Interested stakeholders can submit feedback via the OMB’s public comment portal under FDA Docket No. FDA-2025-N-3215.
- Keller and Heckman is happy to submit any comments on behalf of interested stakeholders.
