IT would also be great if the ingredients were somehow color coded based on some approximate population wide risk factor.

- DavidPeiffer 3y agoI understand what you're going for, and it would be helpful as a consumer. I work for a food manufacturer, and speaking only for myself as an industrial engineer, it'd be a pain to have a handful of colors added to every ingredient statement. Each color is another thing that can go wrong in manufacturing, and that quality needs to be checked against. Depending on packaging type, you might see branding slowly tend towards whatever standard colors simply because it'd simplify the packaging printing and could reduce the cost.

- diziet 3y agoThat's an interesting idea, but I was more interested in a per-ingredient basis. Different people have different nutritional needs, requirements and even philosophies.
