Walmart has introduced its label for diet products

The label "Great For You" will allow customers to recognize products that are most conducive to a balanced diet.

The label will appear on all products recommended for balanced diets, including on packaging of fresh fruit and vegetables, on canned and frozen fruit & vegetables, cereals, lean meats and dairy products low fat.

For the development of this label, Walmart based its theory on dietary recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans,  Food and Drug Administration, Department of Agriculture and the Institute of Medicine.

Michelle Obama, deeply involved in the fight against childhood obesity has welcomed this initiative which will allow millions of Americans to improve quality of their diet.
