BBC, Saturday 27 Jan – Read the article, if only to see Fiji Water featured on BBC this week. An article by Brandon McFadden, an assistant professor of food and resource economics at the University of Florida was published on BBC Capital two days ago, with the Fiji Water bottles prominently accompanying the article.
McFadden writes, “…Being able to buy premium water with ‘transparent’ labelling, have led to some Bottled water producers labelling their water free of gluten, genetically modifies organisms (GMOs) and hormones…
and …As we learned more about the relationship between diet and health, Congress sought to provide consumers more information by passing the Nutrition and Labeling Act 1990 which gave the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the authority to require companies to list certain nutrients and other details on food packages. Since then, food labelling has only gotten wilder.” Read in BBC-Capital
