2012 nutrition labels will require facts like total calories and total fat content.
The USDA announced last week that “40 of the most popular cuts of meat and poultry products” will require new nutrition labels in 2012.
Effective January 1, 2012, packages of ground, chopped, and whole cuts of meat and poultry will be required to feature total calories, total grams of fat, and total grams of saturated fat on their labels.
Additionally, any meat labeled with a lean percentage (e.g., “75% lean”) must also highlight its fat percentage.
