“Carbon Label” for food catches on in UK

carbon labeled chips

Some companies in the UK, like the pictured Walkers potato chips (owned by Pepsi), are starting to place carbon labels on their products. It is a voluntary move ahead of possible government requirements. France is looking into making carbon labels mandatory.

It took a while for nutritional labels to catch on, and now everyone looks at them. Could this be the next step in knowing more about what you eat?
