Mars Changes Candy Facts

The candy you purchase may start looking a little different in the next couple of months. Starting in December- the Mars company-- makers of products like M&M's and Skittles- will be placing Guideline Daily Amounts- or GDA's- in large print on the front of the products, as well as more detailed information on calories, fat, and sugar in an easier to read box on the back. The Mars company hopes to help combat the obesity epidemic- by helping consumers make more informed choices.
