DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Jul 21, 2008 (UPI via COMTEX) -- The Center for Science in
the Public Interest said Sara Lee, an Illinois consumer foods company, will
adjust labels regarding its "Whole Grain White Bread."
CSPI, in a release Monday, said it had threatened to file a lawsuit against Sara
Lee regarding labeling on the bread wrappers. The non-profit nutrition
organization alleged that Sara Lee's "Whole Grain White Bread" labels claimed
the bread had as much fiber as 100 percent whole wheat products.
"As part of the agreement, Sara Lee will add copy to the label stating that two
slices have 10 grams of whole grain and that (the U.S. Department of
Agriculture) recommends consumption of 48 grams of whole grains daily," the CSPI
release said.
"This settlement will help consumers comparison shop among breads: plain white
bread, breads like Sara Lee's with 30 percent whole grains, and 100 percent
whole wheat bread," CSPI Executive Director Michael F. Jacobson said.
