Nutrition Label Moves to Front of Packaged Foods - Slashfood
Photo: Grocery Manufacturers Association / AP PhotoIn the next few months, consumers will start to see a new nutrition label on the front of packaged foods -- a Nutrition Key clearly displaying the amount of calories,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], saturated fat, sodium and sugars per serving,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], reports USA Today. There's also room for two nutrients, including fiber, protein, potassium, calcium, iron or vitamins.The new label comes as a voluntary move by the Grocery Manufacturers Association after the Food and Drug Administration announced its plan to develop its own front-of-package labeling system last March, which would include color-coding to alert customers of smart choices.Critics, such as Kelly Brownell of Yale University and Marion Nestle of New York University,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], say the companies' "pre-emptive" move is confusing and is simply their way of preventing the FDA's plan from going into effect. The White House has commended their effort in taking initiative, but states that the FDA "plans to monitor this initiative closely and will work with experts ... to evaluate whether the label is meeting the needs of American consumers and pursue improvements as needed."Nutrition Keys will appear on more packaged foods as the year progresses. The government's final study results are expected to be released in the fall.
The Court of Appeal pointed out that R and F's submission in the county court was of overt, conscious racism, and it was not prepared to find that there had been unconscious discrimination.The decisionThe Court of Appeal said that, unlike the ordinary civil claim where the judge decides, on the claimant's evidence only, whether the claimant has made out a case, in this case the judge had had the benefit of the whole of the evidence. Despite the school's failure to comply with the statutory requirements, the judge had been entitled to find on the basis of all the evidence that R and F had not proved racial discrimination.
