differentiate between what's naturally occurring and added. so with this new nutrition facts panel you'll actually know the number of grams of added sugar as well as how that contributes to your daily value. >> i understand they're also increasing we can see there the size of the calorie box. is that what most people are actually looking for? >> yes, we actually know that about 75% of consumers actually do look at the nutrition facts panel. but calories are significant. and this really can help make consumers make informed choices particularly when it comes to reducing their(r risk of being overweight or obese. >> you think that's the main reason people look at that box if they're dieting? >> well, i do think that does play a role depending on the type of diet, but as a registered dietitian i would say look at the total nutrition facts panel, make sure it's calorically balanced with essential nutrients. >> now, i understand serving size is changing too. tell us about that. >> yes. so basically what they're doing is they're updating the s

consume today. >> we eat a lot more now than we did say ten, twenty years ago. >> yeah, this has been since the early '90s, and by law we have to put in the serving size what we actually consume now. so they're actually going to be increasing as well. >> because i know often look at a cereal box it's like a quarter cup or half cup. >> if you measure out your bowl is pretty empty, right? that's going to get a little bit of a boost as well to really reflect what we consume. >> and calories of course will rise. >> yes. >> so what about organic? is that going to be on the label? >> that would be different than the nutrition facts panel, and there's regulations that actually address organic as well. >> but we know vitamin d and potassium will be listed. >> that's new. calcium, vitamin d, potassium and iron, why they're adding those specific nutrients is because many of us don't consume enough of them. >> so do you think the

products will then decide to add those things now that we're going to know whether they're in there or not? >> that's a good point and that could be the case. they can voluntarily list other nutrients, but those four are required. >> so when will we see these changes? >> well, actually the companies don't have to follow these regulations or they're not put in place for two years, but i suspect you'll start to see them rolling out over the next year or two. >> i see you've got eggs here. >> yeah. >> eggs have a nutrition label on them too? >> yes, they do, right here on the back. rule of thumb is any kind of packaged food is going to have a nutrition facts panel or existing facts panel. >> but what's in the egg is not going to change per manufacturer, chicken, right? >> true, but they again will be required to update based on these new labels. again, the new nutrients will be enclosed. >> so we can get ready for this to start happening any time now. >> yes. you'll start to see these rolling out very soon. >> they don't have to have
