UPDATED: KIND Healthy Snacks will meet federal guidelines in publishing added sugar content of products

(Updating to clarify the added sugar content is not yet available on all KIND products and won't be until 2018.) KIND Healthy Snacks said Tuesday it had revised labels on its snack products to include added sugar content, two years ahead of the Food and Drug Administration's late July 2018 imperative. However, that information is only available on the company's website, a spokeswoman clarified late Tuesday. All KIND bars will be labeled with this information by 2018, the same year the government requires the information be on labels. The new requirement that food companies disclose added sugars, part of a larger nutrition label overhaul that also changes calorie counts, faced a good deal of industry opposition before it passed.
