Dish labels already include the most salient food information, from serving size and caloric content to saturated fat, total fat, protein, carbohydrate, and fiber content. Additional details are accessible on the HUDS website, a sleek, polished production designed to “defin[e] the HUDS brand voice literally and visually” and meet the needs...
