    added sugars a day!!

    NEW NUTRITION FACT LABEL COMING


    SOON!
    The
    U.S. Food and Drug Administration is now requiring that all food and beverage companies
    disclose added sugars in terms of grams and daily recommended amounts.

    NEW
    Label

    *These new
    labels will also
    adjust serving
    sizes that
    reflect the
    amount per
    serving people
    actually
    consume!

    OLD
    Label

    Manufacturers will need to use the new label by JULY 26, 2018. According to the FDA, smaller
    companies will be granted an extra year to comply with these new regulations.

    INTERESTING FACT
    A 20-ounce bottle of regular Coca-Cola weighs in at 65g of sugar per serving, which is
    15g over the FDAs recommended daily intake for sugar.
