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.”

Johnson will share her expertise on the 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."
