Associated Press: McDonald's Australia is setting new standards for fast-food producers by increasing nutritional labeling on products with Percentage Daily Intake. The new packaging, labeled with Percentage Daily Intake, will advise consumers about required daily amounts of protein, fats, saturated fats, carbohydrates, sugar and sodium.

"From next month, we will be introducing Percentage Daily Intake on our packaging so customers can see what percentage of their total daily intake of energy and nutrients are in our products. This includes our burgers, fries and salads," said Peter Bush, chief executive of McDonald's Australia.
