It's Mr. Jeffery, but thank you, Madam Chair.
One important goal to ensure that consumers understand what they're reading on the label is to make the meaning of the label as self-evident as possible. Current regulations permit manufacturers to play around with the serving size, so they can make a product seem like it's very low in sodium simply by using a smaller serving size. That is very problematic.
As you say, the dietary requirement--what the Institute of Medicine calls the adequate intake--is on average 1,500 milligrams, but the daily value is based on 2,400 milligrams. That's problematic and has to be changed. It persistently misleads every single person who reads a label.
The sodium working group also considered looking into front-of-pack nutritional labelling, so you could scan a supermarket shelf and be able to hone in on the lowest sodium one immediately, without have to pick up 40 cans of soup, turn them around, and look for the fine print.
There are many changes that can be made. It's not just about conducting expensive education campaigns.
