Subject: What changes are coming to the Nutrition Facts label?
Nutrition and how company’s market to consumers has been a hot topic lately. This article focuses on the changes coming to the nutritional labels included on many of the products you will find in your local grocery store. If you are the type of person who focuses on the labels included on the products you are buying, this is definitely a good read.
Key Takeaways:
- Nutrition labels will now show serving sizes based on the sizes of the servings people typically eat, rather than on how much they should eat.
- The FDA decided to include Added Sugars on the labels, based on the recommendation for Americans to have no more than 10 percent of the daily calories come from added sugars.
- Calories from fat will no longer be seen on the nutrition labels since the type of fat is more important to health than total fat.
