美国议员提出食品标签现代化法案

    食品伙伴网讯  外媒报道，美国议员提出2013食品标签现代化法案称，FDA应当为所有产品建立标准的FOP营养标签系统，在包装上标示咖啡因、添加糖，使配料标签更易读懂。

    同时指出，含人工配料或者经过化学改良的配料如玉米糖浆、变性淀粉、碱处理的可可豆等配料的产品，不应当描述为"天然"产品。

    然而法律专家认为，对原先规定所做的改变是没有必要的，这只会令消费者混淆，增加FDA的负担。

    部分原文报道如下：

    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.
