Nutrition Labeling Is On The Way: Over the next 18 months, beef consumers should begin to see nutrition information on fresh beef products at retail

摘要

Consumers are one step closer to getting nutrition information with the fresh beef they buy at retail grocery stores. That's good news for U.S. beef producers, as research shows consumers exposed to this information generally believe beef is healthy and buy more as a result. USDA sent a final rule on mandatory nutrition labeling for ground meat and poultry, as well as single-ingredient meat products, to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review Jan, 12. OMB was to provide comments by April 12, with final retail implementation likely to ensue over the following 18 months.
