Walker testifies on
nutritional labeling
WASHINGTON, D.C. -
Congressman Bob Walker
(R-16-Pa.) last week called
for a workable nutrition
education program through
translating current nutrition
technology into an un
derstandable form.
Walker made the remarks
in testimony at food labeling
bearings conducted by the
Food and Drug Ad
ministration. He was one of
only three congressmen
invited to testify at the
hearings.
“Few things are as im
portant to Americans as
good health and nutrition is
an important factor in
maintaining good health
“According to a recently
published consumer study,
77 per cent of those con
sumers interviewed in
dicated that they felt
nutrition mattered more now
than ever before,” Walker
said.
Walker focused the bulk of
his testimony on his own
legislation which would
provide a pictorial label on
all food packaging showing
nutritional content in an
easy to understand fashion.
“Specifically, my bill
requires a label revealing
caloric content; car
bohydrate and fat content;
the portion of the recom
mended daily allowance of
proteins, vitamins and
minerals; and the ratio of
caloric content to the
nutritional content.
“The label I am proposing

highlight of the annual Apple
Harvest Festival to be held
the first two weekends of
is taken from a system
developed by Albert Heinj of
Holland where it has proven
to be both useful and suc
cessful,” Walker said.
Walker noted further that
his proposal would allow
shoppers to judge a product
on its merits through a
system of intelligent com
parisons. He termed the
Heijn-type label “practical
and educational.”
“There is a pressing need
to translate what we know
into language the public can
understand.
“In simple terms, the
public should have available
for its use what has been, up
to now, largely in the realm
of research and education.
“I am hopeful that the
appropriate agencies will
work cooperatively with
Congress on obtaining a
good, easily understood
nutrition label,” Walker
concluded.
