    I saw this type of labeling all over Chile and Argentina a few months ago. It was similar to the Prop 65 warnings in California: too many warnings waters down the message.

    I hope they take an approach that allows normal, non-ultraprocessed food to go without the label.

      Meh. Informational labelling is only ever going to be supplanting marketing noise on a product anyway.

      Any actual fact printed on the packaging is better than “100% natural ingredients*”, “the healthy choice**”, “99% fat free***”, and non-representative imagery****

      * The 17% puréed orphans is entirely natural.

      ** when consumed at the recommended serving size once a month.

      *** but 25% sugar

      **** serving suggestion
