FDA deregulates French dressing – The Washington Post

Your French dressing may no longer need to be at least 35 percent vegetable oil.

The “standard of identity” for French dressing, a legal definition that has been on the books since 1950, is being revoked, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday. The regulatory agency explained that its requirement for what French dressing must include “no longer promotes honesty and fair dealing” for consumers’ benefit.
