First lady Michelle Obama on Thursday will propose changes to nutrition labels on food products, saying the new design must bring more attention to calories and serving sizes.

“Our guiding principle here is very simple: that you as a parent and a consumer should be able to walk into your local grocery store, pick up an item off the shelf and be able to tell whether it’s good for your family,” Obama will say, according to advance excerpts of her remarks provided by the White House. “So this is a big deal, and it’s going to make a big difference for families all across this country.”

Among the proposed revisions to the nutrition labels: Listing the amount of “added sugars” in a food product, updating serving sizes the Obama administration contends are inflated and displaying the total calories for an entire package of food.

“We think it’s absolutely vital to the long-term health of the country,” a senior administration official said of the effort, previewing Thursday’s announcement for reporters.

The first lady will announce the proposal along with Health and Human Services SecretaryKathleen Sebelius and FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg.
