Cereals No Longer Healthy Under Proposed Guidelines
Many popular cereals are no longer “healthy” under new proposed FDA guidelines. I, like you, grow more confused every day. We learn new things daily about food science and nutrition. And it’s hard to follow sometimes. In response to changing data, food labels need to align with updated dietary guidelines, according to the FDA. The Food and Drug Administration used a list of cereals as examples of foods that don’t meet the new criteria. Obviously, it comes as no surprise we don’t eat enough fruit and veggies. And, sugar, saturated fat and sodium grew as a bigger part of our diet. Therefore, the proposal requires products contain meaningful amounts of food from either vegetable, fruit and or dairy for a healthy label. Also, the products need limits on saturated fat, sodium and added sugar. Percentages of daily values determine specific numbers. Using cereal as the example, the FDA explains it needs to include 3/4 ounces of whole grains and no more than 1 gram of saturated fat. The guideline limits sodium to 230 milligrams and added sugar to 2.5 grams. CNBC listed 7 cereals that would no longer qualify as “healthy” under new guidelines. We highlighted some familiar ones and added some of our faves. I hope your favorite still makes the grade.
