Excess added sugar in our food supply is a leading driver of Type 2 diabetes, which is predicted to affect about half of all U.S. adults in their lifetime. Seeing a warning icon on a restaurant menu may help consumers identify the high amounts of added sugar hidden in menu items and it may even convince them to reach for healthier items like water. Warning icons are a simple way to equip consumers with nutrition information and nudge companies to improve the healthfulness of their products, without taking up space on the menu.
