Some parents don't mind letting their kids eat Kraft singles because maybe they had them as a kid too. Other parents are totally against the processed cheese product. Now, the debate may be over because the popular product has been given a health food label!
Kraft Singles Got Labeled As A Health Food Because:
Kraft Singles is the first food to receive the new “Kids Eat Right” label, a stamp of approval designed by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
The “Kids Eat Right” campaign is meant to “raise awareness that diets of America’s kids are lacking dairy, calcium and vitamin D,” according to a statement from AND. The news has been met with skepticism.
Marion Nestle, Ph.d, M.P.H., a professor in the department of nutrition, food studies and public health at NYU, shared the news on her site Food Politics, “you can’t make this stuff up.”
“Kraft is well known as sponsor of AND,” Nestle wrote. “Such seals are usually money-raising gimmicks. I’m wondering if ‘proud supporter of’ means that Kraft pays AND for use of this seal. If so, I’d like to know what the seal costs.”
By the FDA’s standards, Kraft isn’t permitted to refer to Singles as “cheese” because this word indicates that a product is made with at least 51 percent real cheese.
The organization insists that “it does not constitute any endorsement or nutritional seal of approval by the Academy, its Foundation or Kids Eat Right.
Do You Think It's Healthy?
Now that you know why Kraft singles has been labeled as a health food, it may make you think different about the product from now on.
