The U.S. government has aimed for transparency in food labeling for over a century, beginning with the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act. While current nutrition labels are comprehensive, 74% of U.S. adults remain overweight. This disconnect is influenced by the addictive nature of processed foods and the higher cost of healthy options. There is a call for a new front-of-package label, designed to quickly communicate health information about added sugars, sodium, and saturated fats to aid consumer decision-making. The Good Food Collective plans to promote this new labeling system to enhance public health awareness and improve food choices.
Front-of-package labels can capture consumers' attention during decision-making moments, providing clear information on added sugars, sodium, and saturated fats, which can influence healthier choices.
The Good Food Collective aims to advocate for transparent food industry practices while promoting easier-to-understand nutrition labels, potentially transforming both consumer habits and food production.
