Food nutrition labels to get makeover

Access oil pipeline that will stretch from the Bakken

staging area in Worthing, S.D.
If conirmed, Native
American site may
delay $3.8B pipeline
By DAVID PITT

DES
MOINES,
Iowa — Discovery of an
archaeological site that may
have cultural signiicance
to Native Americans could
further delay construction of
a $3.8 billion oil pipeline if
government oficials require
the route to be moved.
Houston-based Dakota
Access LLC wants to build
the pipeline — designed
to carry a half-million
barrels of oil a day — from
northwest North Dakota to a
storage facility in south-cen-
tral Illinois. Construction
has begun in North Dakota,
South Dakota and Illinois,
but the Iowa Utilities Board
has not authorized work to
begin.
On Friday, Iowa State
Archaeologist
John
Doershuk said his ofice
had received information
indicating a possible Native
American site in northwest
Iowa that, if conirmed,
could result in relocation of
the pipeline. He said details
should start falling into
place by next week, “as we
conirm site characteristics
and ownership/jurisdiction,
as well as position relative
to the planned pipeline
construction activities.”
Doershuk said in an
email that those construc-
tion activities “may then be
shifted, although the neces-
sity of this course of action
remains to be determined,”
Nutrition label revamp
WASHINGTON — A
new look is coming to
Nutrition Facts labels on
food packages, with more
attention to calorie counts
and added sugars. And no
longer will a small bag of
chips count as two or three
servings.
Michelle Obama said
parents will be the beneicia-
ries.
“You will no longer need
a microscope, a calculator, or
a degree in nutrition to igure
out whether the food you’re
buying is actually good for
our kids,” the irst lady said
Friday, announcing the new
rules.
The changes were irst
proposed by the Food and
Drug Administration two
years ago and are the irst
major update to the labels
since their introduction in
1994. They are now on more
than 800,000 foods.
The overhaul comes amid
scientiic advances. While
fat was the focus when the
labels were created, calories
are of greater concern these
days. The calorie listing will
now be much larger than
anything else on the label,
making it hard to overlook.
Nutrition
advocates
have long sought an added
sugars line on the label so
consumers can understand
how much sugar in an item is
naturally occurring, like that
in fruit and dairy products,
and how much is put in by
the manufacturer. Think an
apple vs. sweetened apple
sauce.
The labels will also
include a new “percent daily
value” for sugars, telling
people how much of their
recommended daily intake
they will get from each
item. This year’s guidelines
recommend no more than
10 percent of calories from
added sugar, a limit of around
200 calories or 50 grams.
“The new labels should
also spur food manufac-
turers to add less sugar to
their products,” Michael
Jacobson, president of the
Center for Science in the
Public Interest, an advocacy
group. He said it’s currently
impossible for consumers
studying the labels to know
how much sugar its into a
he said.
Final approval for the
Iowa section is pending
because the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, which
must issue permits for
the pipeline to cross the
Missouri and Mississippi
rivers, hasn’t issued its
permits. A Corps spokesman
said permits for the Iowa leg
of the project are 60 to 120
days away.
Iowa was the last state to
issue a permit for the pipe-
line, and the permit requires
that Dakota Access prove it
has all required federal and
state permits before starting
construction in Iowa.
Dakota Access is pres-
suring the Iowa Utilities
Board to let it begin work at
sites outside the jurisdiction
of the Corps, but the board
has declined to act quickly,
saying it is reviewing
comments from all sides
before making a decision.
Last week, the company
said it had to start laying
pipe this week in order to
inish before winter and
avoid disturbing farmland
for a second growing
season.
The Corps’ main goal
is to avoid impact to the
environment and histori-
cally signiicant sites, and
that often means working
with the applicant to reroute
the pipeline to avoid a
sensitive area, said agency
spokesman Ron Fournier,
who serves a Corp district
including Iowa and Illinois.
Major changes to the nutrition labels required on food packages sold in the U.S.:
