The Food and Drug Administration released on Tuesday its long-awaited proposal to require food manufacturers to put some nutrition facts on the front of packages, in a bid to nudge Americans and food companies towards healthier diets in line with similar pushes in other countries.

The FDA wants food and beverage manufacturers to display nutrition labels on the front of most of their packages in an effort to help Americans make healthier choices.

Front-of-package labels have spurred companies in other countries to cut sugars and salt. The FDA wants to follow suit here.
