Food Labeling
Most packaged foods in the U.S. have food labels. On every food label you will see
• Serving size, number of servings, and number of calories per serving
• Information on the amount of dietary fat, cholesterol, dietary fiber, dietary sodium, carbohydrates, dietary proteins, vitamins, and minerals in each serving
• Definitions for terms such as low-fat and high-fiber
• Information to help you see how a food fits into an overall daily diet (Food and Drug Administration)
