The Australian Beverages Council resolved to voluntarily
adopt additional labelling commitments to assist consumers in selecting the appropriate beverage to suit their specific dietary needs and to help them calculate the total amount of energy that they are consuming

labelling would pose
additional costs to U.S. exporters shipping their packaged foods to countries
adopting such rules, the only thing being protected by banning it would be the financial interests of the American processed food industry.
