Send Your Suggestions on Nutrition Labels to FDA by July 28th 2010

Post on Good Guide says FDA is looking forward to hearing from us, suggestions on food nutrition labeling. This is chance to nudge FDA (and the public) to be more food conscious and savvy. Post your suggestions here.:

"The FDA says they are interested now in assessing:
  • The extent to which consumers notice, use, and understand nutrition symbols;
  • The effectiveness of possible approaches to front-of-pack labeling;
  • Graphic design, marketing, and advertising data that guide the development of better point-of-purchase nutrition information; and,
  • The extent to which point-of-purchase nutrition information may affect decisions by food manufacturers to reformulate products.
As the FDA explains:
The goal of this front-of-pack nutrition labeling effort is to maximize the number of consumers who readily notice, understand, and use point-of-purchase information to make more nutritious choices for themselves and their families"
