NYC Unveils Sugar Warning Labels for Fast Food and Coffee

New York City’s Health Department has proposed a groundbreaking rule requiring fast-food chains and coffee shops with 15 or more US locations to display warning labels on food and drinks with more than 50 grams of added sugar. This measure aims to combat the alarming rates of type 2 diabetes in the city and empower consumers to make informed choices. According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, many popular beverages at Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks exceed the 50-gram threshold, including the Butter Pecan and Caramel Swirl frozen coffees with over 100 grams of sugar.
