H-E-B helping customers make carb-aware food choices with new labeling system

SAN ANTONIO — As part of an initiative started in time for American Diabetes Month, H-E-B is helping customers make carb-aware food choices by labeling food with 0 g to 15 g of carbohydrates per serving with their new Carb Aware Nutritional Icon, according to a Nov. 6 Facebook post on the Texas grocer's site. 

In one week, the post generated 40 "shares" and more than 320 "likes."

"Diabetes month comes right after Halloween-candy binging. Perfect timing," posted one customer. Another wrote, "This is a great idea. This should be all the time. Thank u."
