The Food and Drug Administration has approved the most radical overhaul in nutrition labels in decades, putting sugar in the cross hairs. The agency has announced a “Nutrition-Facts” label that lists how many grams of sugar have been added by manufacturers and what percentage of the recommended daily maximum that represents. However, john Bode, CEO of the Corn Refiners Association, says there was very little science used to make this change.

Plus, he says there was no research done to determine what consumer perceptions are about the label and make sure it accurately informs consumers. As a result, Bode says the nutrition label, which breaks out added sugar from total sugar content, is misleading.

Bode says independent research found with the new label the majority of consumers would select products that are less healthy to avoid added sugar.

Food and beverage companies say there is no difference between naturally present sugars and added sugars, like corn sweetener.

The label will also display calories per serving, serving size and more.
