I wrote a few weeks ago about the “Smart Choices” program.  Right after that, the program ‘voluntarily’ postponed operations.  Use of the logo on food packaging is not going to be expanded by any  new or current users. 

The FDA is going to be working with this program to get some standarized criteria for food packaging. 

Unfortunately, when people see something that says ’smart choice’, they immediately think it’s healthy.  It may be a little bit of a better choice than something else on the shelf, but it doesn’t mean it’s a healthy choice.

It will be interesting to see how this turns out.
