Nestle Rowntree in the UK is planning to change their nutrition labeling.
I currently find their labels a little difficult to decipher as they contain info on 100 gram portions - which is about two and a half times a normal “portion” of candy (most UK candy bars are about 50 grams, most US are about 42 grams or 1.5 ounces).
The Daily Mail reports that Nestle is planning to give consumers more info for making smarter snacking decisions.
The new packets will have the number of calories per serving displayed on the front of packs instead of hidden away next the ingredients. A two finger Kit Kat, for example, will clearly display that it contains 106 calories.
And if you want some really sobering stuff to read, the New York Times did a huge article yesterday for the Health section about diabetes.
Snack responsibly folks.
