WASHINGTON — The Agriculture Department will require many meat labels to include the number of calories and other nutritional information starting in 2012 so that consumers can make healthier decisions about what they eat.
The rule announced Wed nesday is part of a government effort to educate Americans about nutrition and diets. It applies to 40 of the most popular cuts of meat and poultry products. Labels will list grams of total fat and saturated fat, and fat percentages for products already marked with lean percentages.
