Cereal box question…?

I am doing a project for school and need to know a few things about food boxes, not only cereal. In 1850 did they have color in the pictures on the front of the box? If so how much color? Did they have the nutrition facts that we have today? If you could show me where you get your info that would be great!! I need quick answers because the project is due soon, Tuesday. Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!!

I don’t believe they used boxes – paper bags (flour sacks etc) – ok
they did not have the types of prepared cereals we have today
as I remember ☺ we only had the grains – oats being the best for breakfast but wheat – barley etc
there were only feed markets to buy bulk foods –
I never lived in the city back then☺ – - I have this picture in my head of going to market with dad ☺- – there was a farmers market where mom was let off to get the flour salt rice potatoes etc and other food stuff – Dad and I to the Mercantile – where we got the feed for the animals and tools – mom met up with us there to get material for clothes and other girlie project things

I believe it was the 60′s – 70′s the radical food nutritionist manage to pass the laws on nutritional labels ( – ( – I saw it as insane – - mom and I ate about the same foods – she had sedentary work schedule – I had to walk behind a horse sun up – sun down
there were NO calorie counters – - you ate your fill – mom took care of any balance of nutrition – meat – starch – veggies – sweets –
we have been doing this 4.2 billion years – - Sorry I still do not know my daily requirements
I Do Know I Have Never Been Hungry

Labeling – Nonsense – - watch people – - a tiny fraction look for it
