The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently served up the first major change in 20 years to food and drink nutrition labels.

Adjustments in serving sizes, calories, percent daily values and nutrients on labels are now required by the FDA due to updated sci entific information, new research and public feedback.

These changes to the labels are intended to help consumers more effectively and easily use the nutritional information, said Janice Hermann, Oklahoma State University Extension nutrition specialist.
