Snack bar company Kind files FDA petition to stop sneaky advertising on food packaging

Petition to help better inform consumers about what바카라 게임 웹사이트s actually in foods, drinks they바카라 게임 웹사이트re buying

If you바카라 게임 웹사이트ve ever picked up a bottled drink or a packaged food item, you바카라 게임 웹사이트ve probably noticed a label on the front of the item touting its protein or vitamin content. But what you don바카라 게임 웹사이트t see is any mention of less-than-healthy ingredients 바카라 게임 웹사이트 such as added sugar or saturated fat 바카라 게임 웹사이트 until you look at the nutrition facts on the back of the item. And, if you바카라 게임 웹사이트re like most Americans, chances are pretty good you바카라 게임 웹사이트re not getting to the fine print. Less than one-third of people report that they frequently read the nutrition label, according to a 2018 study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.Now, there바카라 게임 웹사이트s a new petition going around that바카라 게임 웹사이트s aimed at bringing that information to the public바카라 게임 웹사이트s attention and changing the practice of highlighting only the good while ignoring the less-than-healthy aspects. Kind, a company best known for its granola bars, partnered with public health experts to file a citizen바카라 게임 웹사이트s petition with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration so consumers could be better informed about what바카라 게임 웹사이트s in the foods and drinks they바카라 게임 웹사이트re buying. 바카라 게임 웹사이트Dressing up empty calorie products by emphasizing a singular nutrient, like protein or fiber, versus the overall quality of the food is unfair to consumers,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Kind Founder and CEO Daniel Lubetzky said in a press release. 바카라 게임 웹사이트By bringing greater rigor to the use of nutrient claims, FDA can increase label transparency and help people better identify foods that contribute to a healthy diet, which KIND has long advocated for.바카라 게임 웹사이트 He went on to tell Fast Company that consumers are ending up getting duped, buying foods they think are healthy and helpful 바카라 게임 웹사이트because of claims like 바카라 게임 웹사이트excellent source of vitamins,바카라 게임 웹사이트 when in fact it might be just a sugar delivery vehicle.바카라 게임 웹사이트 So instead of just telling you that the breakfast bar you바카라 게임 웹사이트re about to eat is a good source of fiber, the petition urges the FDA to make it standard for companies to also make it known on the front of the package if there바카라 게임 웹사이트s a lot of sugar or fat in there, too. The petition is also urging the FDA to disclose the amounts of trans fats and added sugars.A survey Kind conducted found that more than half of consumers support the idea that the FDA should update its policies to mention unhealthy ingredients on the front of food and drink packaging, according to Fast Company. 바카라 게임 웹사이트Through these in partnership with public health experts, we바카라 게임 웹사이트re trying to ensure that people are not duped and that they바카라 게임 웹사이트re getting the right information and they바카라 게임 웹사이트re not manipulated,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Lubetzky told Fast Company. If the FDA does decide to make any changes based on this petition, it won바카라 게임 웹사이트t be the first time food packaging has undergone an overhaul. In fact, the FDA has made a host of changes to food labels throughout the past few years. In 2016, it announced that the Nutrition Facts labels had to show the latest scientific information, including how a poor diet is related to conditions such as heart disease and obesity. The calorie count was made larger, the serving sizes were updated to be more realistic and the number of servings per package was put in boldface, too. You may have already noticed these changes on some products, but they will be coming to all packaged foods soon. Companies that make $10 million or more each year in sales must do so by Jan. 1, 2020, and those who make less than $10 million each year in sales must do so by Jan. 1, 2021.
