Regulators Weigh Food Label Changes

Reuters: "U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials said on Thursday they were considering changing food labeling regulations so consumers can more easily figure what is in that packet of snacks or soft drink."

Currently, if a package contains more than one serving, consumers must multiply nutrition data by the number of servings to determine total calories, fat and carbohydrates. Some consumer groups and nutritionists have argued that such food labels are misleading and could cause consumers to take in more calories, sodium and fat than they realize. Now, it seems, the F.D.A. may agree.
