The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) finalized the new
nutrition facts label for packaged foods to reflect new scientific information,
including the link between diet and chronic diseases such as obesity and heart
disease. Among the changes to help consumers is the addition of grams of added
sugars below "Total Sugars." Manufacturers will need to use the new
label by July 26, 2018, although manufacturers with less than $10 million in
annual food sales will have an additional year.
