- 根据A的情况statement from the group。AMA还要求FDA限制在包装上为健康或营养索赔的食物中允许添加多少糖。
- Albert J. Osbahr III, a medical doctor and a member of the AMA board of trustees, said in a release thatfood packaging should include more transparent information about its contents so the healthy choice can be easier."When consumers have access to the amount of sugar they are consuming, they may choose foods with less sugar — which can help prevent debilitating chronic medical conditions, such as Type 2 diabetes and heart disease, which affect millions of Americans," he said.
- 作为回应，糖会社表示警告标签“没有什么但是误导消费者，因为它是一个没有基于科学的想法，并不支持FDA首先设定日常价值的理由。“总裁兼首席执行官考特尼·纳迪said in a statementthat this would be a“营养教育的巨大一步，恢复伤害这一领域的单营养焦点的概念，并在公众的健康方面做出了无法进展。”
Dive Insight:
Added sugars已经获得了自己的标注在2020年和2021年的营养事实标签变化中发生变化，但AMA需要更多需要。医学协会认为，更多的信息更好，而行业组计数器这些数字是毫无意义的，因为没有含有不利健康影响的糖。
When it comes to the consumers, manysay they want more ingredient information在食品和饮料标签上，即使他们有时会忽略它。糖是一种成分消费者想要限制。根据标签洞察力的调查，关于22％的消费者想要限制他们的糖摄入量。
在标签上致电添加糖是一种帮助这些努力的方式。制造商已经试图减少其产品中的糖量，并采用了一些策略，例如替代甜叶菊，添加人造甜味剂或使用新开发的糖类类型。随着食品和饮料制造商添加此信息，more consumers may pay attention到它。
如果FDA还需要front-of-package警告labels for foods with high levels of added sugars, it's more likely that consumers will see them — but it might also convince them to buy products with lower amounts or no added sugar at all.
由于没有FDA-Set的限制，糖量太多，因此行业集团感受到消费者可能是不公平的摇摆，以选择较少的产品。该小组可能有一点，尽管糖生产商可能知道该机构对机构建立这种水平，但以任何程度的确定性或科学为基础。
另一方面，AMA知道消耗很多糖 - 美国人通常会消耗超过加糖的每日热量总量的13％以上，according to the FDA- 可以导致肥胖，蛀牙，糖尿病和心脏问题。
As this debate swirls around them, manufacturers that use sugar in their products are trying to figure out how to stay compliant with regulations and anticipate consumer trends. Some have already limited the amount of sugar in their products, others have started using sugar substitutes and许多人正试图尽可能透明about the process. Since these changes are already being made, consumers can pay close attention to these developments, and may make their purchasing decisions accordingly.
According to recent research，消费者继续关注食品和饮料中的糖水平。美国人的三分之一含有体重增加的糖，71％读取成分标签上的糖含量，并根据a凯里白皮书。在一个survey from Ingredion, 72% of consumers said having added sugars listed on the Nutrition Facts panel would negatively impact their purchase of yogurt. Almost the same amount — 71% — said the same for fruit drinks, 53% had that sentiment about cookies and 52% said it would have the same effect for snack bars.
Consumers say they want more information on product packaging and soon they will get it. Whether they will routinely check that information is another question, but if the AMA is to be successful in getting warning labels on the front of packaging, consumers need to weigh in and emphasize that it's important and helpful to them — and not confusing or misleading. Otherwise, it could look like an unnecessary regulation for the food industry without adequate justification — which might not be something the current administration will support.
