New Label Laws

Finally new label laws to help us all make informed decisions about the food we eat.  The look remains the same with changes in type size for Calories, Servings per container, and Serving size.
-Manufacturers must declare the actual amount, in addition the percent Daily Value of vitamin D, calcium, iron and potassium. 
-The foot note is changing to better explain what percent of Daily Value means. 
-Added sugars in grams will be included on the label.
- Still required is Total Fat, Trans Fat and Saturated Fat, however Calories from fat will be removed.
-There will be updates in nutrients like sodium, fiber and vitamin D.
-Serving sizes must be based on amount of food and drinks that people are actually eating, not what they should be eating.
Just some of the positive changes made to the label, hoping to help consumers make better choices.
