TraceGains Webinar Addresses Future Nutrition Facts Labels in Two Weeks
Westminster, CO, April 07, 2014 --(PR.com)-- TraceGains’ will host a webinar on Thursday, April 17, 2014 at 12:00 pm EST co-presented by Elizabeth (Beth) Johnson, MS, RD, founder and principal of Food Directions LLC, a boutique government relations firm headquartered in Washington, D.C.
Johnson will share her expertise on the FDA's proposed updates and anticipated timing as well as the implications for food manufacturers as they prepare for the many changes ahead. Johnson explained, "After nearly two decades, FDA is proposing changes to its original nutrition facts label. While sweeping in nature, the Agency's proposal will impact over 700,000 packaged foods and could cost the food industry at least $2 billion. From updated serving sizes to major format revisions, understanding the proposed changes will help teams identify potential problems, which can be addressed now, and prepare for the anticipate costs companies will face in the near-term."

Gary Nowacki, CEO of TraceGains noted, “This is getting a lot of attention across the board – industry, consumers, and government. Why? In part it may be because this is actually not a $64000 question, but a multi-billion dollar question. The Obama administration estimates the Nutrition Facts label changes could cost the industry $2 billion, but would lead to up to $30 billion in benefits over time. Regardless whether people agree or disagree with the cost or benefits side of the equation, it is a serious economic discussion.”
