ingles dietitianThe new Nutrition Facts panel will go into effect in a little over a year (July 2018).  

For the first time the Nutrition Facts will feature a line for grams of added sugar.  Foods like plain milk, whole fruits, and canned or dried beans have naturally occurring sugars, but added sugar is "...sugar or syrup that is added to foods when they are processed or prepared."

ingles dietitianWhat do dairy cows feed on?  

Bart Ramsey: They graze on grasses that we grow like ryegrass, bluegrass and fescue. In dry weather and from October to April that's not enough to provide them with the nutrients they need - they'd starve and not produce any milk if all they did was graze. We also feed them corn silage.
