By Alexis Mateer, Dietetic Intern A new Nutrition Facts Label is coming! A few years ago the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published a new set of rules and guidelines for Nutrition Facts Labels. Food manufacturers must comply with these new guidelines, and the mandatory compliance dates are approaching fast. January 1, 2020 is the mandatory compliance date for manufacturers with annual food sales of $10 million or more. This means that these food manufacturers will have to have the new, updated Nutrition Facts Label on all of their products by January 1, 2020. Manufacturers with annual food sales totaling less than $10 million have until January 1, 2021 to comply. By Alexis Mateer, Dietetic Intern If you’re like me then you’re probably crazy about Chipotle. My favorites are their burritos and burrito bowls. In my opinion, it’s one of the top fast food chains when it comes to quality and quantity of food. However, I know it’s not the healthiest option for me, or my budget. Luckily, it can be quick and easy to throw together my own burrito bowl at home. This actually works better for my budget anyway. Ditch the lines at the Chipotle on campus and try this recipe at home instead! Bonus: it can be made in a dorm room with only a microwave! By Julie Schoonover, Student Nutritionist
