Answer to Question 2

If a consumers wish to reduce their refined/simple sugar intake, they can select a food with the Smart Choice Check of approval. They should also consult the nutrition facts panel of the label to determine the actual simple/refined sugar amount that a serving of that food product provides.

The Smart Choice label is a first step in selecting a particular food item from a group of similar items. Consumers should look closer at the nutrition facts panel of the label to decide if the food is a good choice for their desired eating plan.
