Food Labeling Guide Chapter 2 - Name of Food

"What's in a name?" asks Juliet in Shakespeare's lyrical tale Romeo and Juliet. Juliet tells Romeo that a name is an artificial and meaningless convention, and that she loves the person who is called "Montague", not the Montague name and not the Montague family.

A lot of good it did her, we all know it turned out less that wonderful for both of them.

The FDA asks the same question about the name of food, and fortunately the outcome for food manufacturers is less severe than that of our star crossed lovers. This week, we look at Part 2 of 5 (!) of a Food Labeling Guide.

TTFN, Fred.
