Many years ago, the FDA tried to pass a rule that that nutrition labels should have either a red, yellow or green border.
The idea being, you could eg. tell your kid that they can have any cereal as long as the border is yellow, and have to mix it with one whose label is green.
The black "BAD" labels are not as effective, they desensitize to BAD, and if all sweets are BAD you just ignore the label (though they do help some, according to data from Israel which implemented such labels a few years ago).
The color codes (not as direct, but even more universally recognized) and the chance for a middle level is a better system. And they could put Allulose in that level, for a compromise that has a better chance of passing.
That plan was lobbied to death; no surprise.
