First Lady’s Nutrition Labeling Announcement Expected To Anger Industry

First Lady’s Nutrition Labeling Announcement Expected To Anger Industry:

First lady Michelle Obama is slated to announce the most sweeping update to nutrition labeling on food packages in more than two decades on Thursday — and Americans are in for a reality check about how many calories and how much sugar they are consuming.

Food policy experts say the bold announcement is expected to anger the food industry. Mandating that food companies list exactly how much sugar they add to products on the nutrition label, for example, is a thorny issue that is likely to rile up fierce food and beverage industry opposition in the coming weeks.
