Sugary Sodas and Cereals May Get a New FDA Nutrition Label

Cereal boxes, soda bottles and other packaged foods in the U.S. could soon include labels explaining how their sugar content measures up against the recommended daily limit.

The proposal Friday by the Food and Drug Administration would expand on the agency’s decision last year to list added sugars on food labels, Susan Mayne, the director of the agency’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, said in a blog post.
