US chocolate manufacturer Hershey is planning to introduce an improved food labeling system to its US product range.
Under the new labeling system, the company will provide front-of-pack nutrition information to make it easy for consumers to make informed choices.
Hershey will launch front-of-pack nutrition information in the second half of 2013 and plans to evolve its product packaging across its varied pack types over the next several years..
In addition, the company will update its website to provide consumer-friendly access to nutrition information.
The Hershey Company along with members of the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA), Food Marketing Institute (FMI) and National Confectioners Association (NCA) are voluntarily implementing front-of-pack labeling to share nutrition information.
Headquartered in Pennsylvania, Hershey is a global chocolate and sugar confectionery company with operations across the world.
