The Nutrition Facts Label
In May 2016, the FDA announced a new Nutrition Facts label to better reflect the nutritional value of packaged foods and beverages sold in the United States. While the deadline for implementing the new label is January 2020 for large manufacturers and January 2021 for smaller companies, the new label is already appearing on products across America. The goal of this new label is to make it easier for consumers to make informed food choices that support a healthy diet.
