General Mills shelves SmartChoice program

Golden Valley-based food maker General Mills Inc. announced they would no longer participate in the Smart Choices labeling program after the program was criticized for misleading consumers about the nutritional value of some foods.

General Mills joined Kraft, PepsiCo, ConAgra Foods, Kellogg, Riviana Foods, Sun-Maid and Unilever in phasing out the program from their packaging.
