FDA orders labeling of vitamin content for fresh produce
The FDA requires grocers to display detailed vitamin and mineral content whenever they advertise nutritional claims about fresh produce. If a store notes oranges high in vitamin C, it must also show the average vitamin C and other nutrients. The rule allows 60 days for public comment and applies to in store signs, not ads.

It will require 75 restaurant groups to report if operators must buy supplies from the parent or a designated supplier. The probe notes past FTC actions while avoiding any presumption of illegal conduct. The inquiry cites Chock Full O’Nuts as an example of unfair supply restrictions.
