Nutrition Labelling offers a thorough examination of current nutrition labelling practices and recommends ways to make food labelling information consistent with recent dietary recommendations from the U.S. Surgeon General and the National Research Council. The volume proposes implementing a food labelling reform program, addressing such key issues as requiring mandatory nutrition labelling on most packaged foods, expanding nutrition labelling to foods that do not currently provide this information, making federal requirements uniform between agencies, and updating the nutrient content and format of food labels.
