You’re hungry for a quick bite. You open the fridge, searching for a healthy snack. But you aren’t sure what to choose!
If that sounds like you, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) wants to help. The FDA is a part of the U.S. government. It’s responsible for protecting Americans’ health. It recently suggested changing the rules that say which foods can be labeled as “healthy.”
For example, one new rule would be about cereal. It would say that a healthy cereal can’t have more than 2.5 grams of added sugars per serving. Many cereals today have more than four times that amount!
The FDA’s goal is to help us spot healthy foods and make better choices.
