Food Labeling for Sweetness
(Webinar length:  1 hr  24 min)

Overview:

This webinar will cover minimally required labeling, regulations and rulings for optional claims
and statements about sugar and sweeteners including relevant carbohydrate declarations. It
will also address contemporary food policy and public health issues with insights to help avoid
a bittersweet backlash from labeling gone sour.

Katie Couric’s “Fed-Up” movie challenge, taxing state and local laws, possible warning labels
on sugary beverages and restricted serving sizes and the proposed “added sugars” section
in the Nutrition Facts label are all continuing evidence of serious concerns about sugar in the
food supply. Genetically modified (GMO) ingredient avoidance also drives demand for
sourcing from cane over beet or corn. The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) recently
approved the new sweetener Advantame, proposed draft guidance for honey labeling and
reopened the comment period on draft guidance for the ingredient name “evaporated cane
juice” following lawsuits over its labeled use. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also
established a recommended daily maximum for dietary sugar.

Labeling to satisfy a sweet tooth can be challenging amidst anti-sugar shock sentiment.
Controversy rages over the safety of non-nutritive sweeteners and the health implications of
added sugar making ingredient names, nutrient content claims and quality descriptors for
finished products a crucial influence on the sweet choices used to tastefully meet consumer
expectations.

Areas to be addressed:

Consumer concerns – what the buying public thinks of it all
Sugar consumption and product categories, relevant health issues
FDA regulations for sugar and carbohydrates in the current and proposed Nutrition Facts label
Sugar nutrient content claims; whatever happened to “low carb”?
Ingredient labeling - Standards of identity, common/usual names for sweetening agents
