Labeling of low fat cheese debated at hearing
Agriculture officials pressed for quick adoption of uniform labeling rules for reduced fat cheeses to let Kraft and others market under standard guidelines. Testimony urged that descriptors precede the product name, such as reduced fat cheddar, to help consumers distinguish variation from the standard product. Industry reps argued many firms already sell reduced fat cheese under current guidelines and urged compliance now.
