美國議員提出食品標(biāo)簽現(xiàn)代化法案

    食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊  外媒報道，美國議員提出2013食品標(biāo)簽現(xiàn)代化法案稱，FDA應(yīng)當(dāng)為所有產(chǎn)品建立標(biāo)準的FOP營養(yǎng)標(biāo)簽系統(tǒng)，在包裝上標(biāo)示咖啡因、添加糖，使配料標(biāo)簽更易讀懂。

    同時指出，含人工配料或者經(jīng)過化學(xué)改良的配料如玉米糖漿、變性淀粉、堿處理的可可豆等配料的產(chǎn)品，不應(yīng)當(dāng)描述為"天然"產(chǎn)品。

    然而法律專家認為，對原先規(guī)定所做的改變是沒有必要的，這只會令消費者混淆，增加FDA的負擔(dān)。

    部分原文報道如下：

    A bill proposing sweeping changes to food labeling laws covering everything from 'natural' claims to whole grain statements has been welcomed by consumer groups, but stands little chance of success, legal experts have told FoodNavigator-USA.

    The Food Labeling Modernization Act of 2013 - just unveiled by Richard Blumenthal （D-Conn） and Reps. Rosa DeLauro （D-Conn） and Frank Pallone Jr. （D-NJ） - says the FDA should establish a standard front of pack nutrition labeling system for all products, make firms label caffeine and added sugar on pack, and make ingredients labels easier to read.
