Clearer Food Labels: Highlighting Sugar, Sodium, and Fat

This will empower consumers to make healthier food choices for themselves and their families, and to be aware of ingredients not recommended for children.
Key points
Mandatory front-of-package labels indicating high amounts of added sugars, sodium, or saturated fat.
Requirement to disclose the presence of non-nutritive sweeteners, with a warning that they are not recommended for children.
