Please see the attachment with comments from the DaVita Dietitian Council about updating Food Labels. We represent over 1200 DaVita Renal Dietitians and over 100,000 DaVita dialysis patients. Our input regarding potassium and phosphorus on Food Labels is significant to the 26 million Americans who are already experiencing 1-5 stage kidney failure, many of whom have not been diagnosed.
