       (US) New nutrition label
       By: agate Date: May 20, 2016, 7:42 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       There's going to be a new version of the nutrition label on food
       in the US. New information is the "added sugar"--the sugar added
       to the food, not counting the sugar already in that food.  The
       calorie count is now in much bigger and bolder type too.
       Potassium and vitamin D are now required listings.
       The food industry has until July 2018 to update its labels,
       however. Consumers are being eased into this in a very leisurely
       way.

       JAMA (June 6, 2016) contains a "Viewpoint" article by authors
       from the Harvard School of Public Health, about the new label,
       applauding the changes but seeing a need for improvement still.
       The article, "The Revised Nutrition Facts Label: A Step Forward
       and More Room for Improvement," can be seen here
