Summary
The FDA proposed a rule requiring front-of-package nutrition labels by 2028, highlighting levels of saturated fat, sodium, and added sugar with “high,” “medium,” or “low” indicators.
The aim is to help Americans make healthier choices amid rising rates of obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.
Critics, including food industry groups, argue the labels could confuse consumers and prefer voluntary initiatives.
While other countries with similar labels have seen positive effects, experts caution that U.S. cultural attitudes may limit their impact on consumer behavior.
We do this now, for non americans. I say ban cartoon mascots and put the daily consumption amount on there.
Also add a picture of how much a normal serving should be. A bowl is usually 2-3x the serving size.
