Here is my idea that needs work.
How about a thin stripes around food products? boxes, cans, frozen food, jars

green stripe----no gluten
silver stripe----no sugar
cyan stripe-----no caffeine
sunny yellow---no salt
white-----------no wheat

Can you think of any more ingredients that require warnings? I tried to make the colors start with the letter of the ingredient as best I could.
I would love to see NO MSG on labels. Some of the labels are so small. If I can't read it, I can't buy it. Unfortunately, MSG is being added to a lot of products lately. Aldi's has removed it from ALL of their store brand products.
