Well, I'm not sure if it will actually happen, but from the looks of things, the FDA is set to approve the first overhaul of the food label system in about 20 years! This would mean several good things such as indicating added sugars, LARGE print for the critical info such as calories, and things like soda being sold in single serving sizes.
I would maintain that the best way to avoid concerns about labeling is to eat mostly whole foods and as little pre-packaged foods as you can get away with. Failing that, this will be a nice change.
It's not a done deal, but they expect that it will be so. By the end of the year, then two years to implement. Very good news though, from what I can see.
