Americans Say They Are On a Sugar Detox

Food companies would be required to include the amount of added sugar as a percentage of recommended daily calorie intake on their “Nutrition Facts” labels, according to a proposal from the U.S. FDA.

While candy maker Mars has said it supports the new dietary guidelines and the move to include “added sugars” on the labels, the GMA has questioned the scientific review behind the FDA’s proposed labeling changes.

Nearly two-thirds of poll respondents say they use those labels at least sometimes when deciding to buy a product.
