Hello from Food Label News.
This month we feature a case study about a product innovator
who replaced a best selling item with a version that is free
of partially hydrogenated oils. You will also find an
important Q&A about how to determine serving size when
there are
discrete pieces in a package. Our reader favorite article
this month is Examples of Nutrition Facts. Happy Food
