An aspect of this design I really like is the extensibility. Within each category, there can be numerous sub-groups like “sugar alcohols” under sugar and the various forms and weights/percentages of saturated fats. Adding information doesn’t break the format, just gives more clarity.

That nutritional label is misleading.
The bag of M&Ms we just opened is one serving not nine. The box of Cheez-Its is one serving not ten.

They still don’t show the percent Daily Value for sugar on any label. They only show how many grams. That’s because most products that contain sugar would be well over 100%.

Ah, thanks. I’ve been looking all over for this. The doctor is concerned about my cholesterol and now I have to start counting.
