WASHINGTON -- A coalition of health organizations and a consumer watchdog group have submitted comments to the Food and Drug Administration asking that bulk vending machines be included in proposed federal calorie-labeling requirements.
The petitioners, which include the American Heart Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Center for Science in the Public Interest, presented their requests to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on July 5, the final day for submitting public comments on the proposed rules.
