The FDA redesigned nutrition labels on food packages to show the amount of added sugar in a product. It’s the first redesign in nutrition labels in over 20 years. Most food manufacturers will have to comply with the redesign by July 2018, but those who sell less than $10 million in products yearly have until 2019. 1. Added sugars are now clearly labeled: The new label not only lists the grams of added sugar, but it also shows the percentage of calories those added sugars make up based on a 2,000 calorie diet. 2. “Calories from fat” has been deleted: the most up-to-date scientific research on the issue shows that it’s more important to eat certain types of healthy fat than to simply restrict fat as a nutrient. 3. Serving sizes are more realistic: This “reality check” will more accurately reflect the amount of food Americans actually eat and drink. 4. Some listed vitamins are getting replaced for vitamins we need more: We Americans need more Vitamin D and potassium, so those nutrients are being added to the label.
