在2013年,消费者对成分问题进行了进攻。在某些情况下,百事可乐和通用磨坊的法律挑战已经打入家中,那里的选择正在发生变化,到明年这个时候,成分标签看起来会有所不同。
Here's a look at five prominent cases from 2013 where companies have decided that significant ingredient swaps needed to happen some of the most famous products on U.S. grocery aisles:
1. MILK PROTEIN CONCENTRATE
Product:Yoplait Greek
公司:General Mills Inc.

Product:Ben & Jerry's ice cream
公司:Unilever
故事:Ben&Jerry的正式宣布this year that it would begin transitioning away from GMO ingredients in a process expected to last into 2014.
