Unilever U.S. Applauds New Uniform Food Labeling System For American Consumers

Do people really stick to packages?
"Unilever, a global consumer products company, today announced that it is a "likely implementer" of The Smart Choices Program, a voluntary front-of-pack food-labeling system comprised of a diverse coalition of scientists, academicians, health organizations, food and beverage manufacturers and retailers."
Don't know how they will get the "scientists, academicians, health organizations, food and beverage manufacturers and retailers" that compose the "front-of-pack food-labeling system" to stay on the package, but that is not my problem to solve.

In any event, I predict the system, if implemented, will cost consumers more and do little to nothing.

There are no "healthy" foods, there is only eating healthily and these gimmicks will likely be unable to achieve the latter.

Stay tuned.
