OVERVIEW
NUTRITION LABELS 101
1. Serving Size2. Calories (per serving)3. %Daily Value (DV) (how much a
food will contribute to your diet based on 2,000 kcals)
20% or greater is high5% or less is low
4. NutrientsLimit: Sodium, saturated fat, cholesterol, sugarGet more of : vitamins and minerals such as calcium, iron, Vitamin A, and Vitamin C
5. Footnote

INGREDIENT IDENTIFICATION
FOOD IDENTIFICATION ACTIVITY
◻ Reduced fat, low fat, light/lite,diet, zero, real, free → common nutrition label terms
◻ Less, low, more, high → all terms that can be misleading to consumers

HEALTH CLAIMS COMMENTARY
John Oliver on Misleading Food Labels
CURRENT ISSUES IN NUTRITION LABELING
◻ 20% Margin of error ◻ Calories are often rounded◻ 50 calories or less - round to the nearest 5- calories
increment◻ Above 50 calories - round to the nearest 10 calorie
increment◻ Total fat is rounded as well◻ Not updated in over 20 years
CURRENT ISSUES IN NUTRITION LABELING
FDA to Change Food Labels, Serving Sizes
NEW LABELING VIDEO
General:◻ Nutrition Facts must be on packaged foods◻ Nutrition Facts are placed with the ingredients list, name
and address of manufacturer or distributor.◻ The name of the product cannot be placed in the
Nutrition Facts label◻ FDA urges that manufacturers make the Nutrition Facts
label readily observable and legible to the consumer at time of purchase
DON’T FIX WHAT ISN’T BROKEN
Nutrient Declarations:◻ Nutrition Facts are not required on all foods⬜Various exceptions
◻ Only nutrients listed in FDA's nutrition regulations, as of the nutrition label, may be included in the Nutrition Facts label
◻ Voluntary nutrients must be listed under specific circumstances when they are added at a nutritional supplement
◻ Vitamins A &C as well a minerals calcium and Iron at the one micronutrients reqired by the FDA
DON’T FIX WHAT ISN’T BROKEN
Major Components: ◻ Greater understanding of nutrition science
◻ Updated serving size requirements and new labeling requirements for a certain package size
◻ Refreshed design
PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE NUTRITION FACTS LABEL
◻ Require information about “added sugars”
◻ Update daily values for nutrients like sodium, dietary fiber and Vitamin D
◻ Require manufacturers to declare the amount of potassium and Vitamin D
◻ continuing to require “Total Fat,”
⬜ Remove: Saturated Fat and Trans Fat
GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF NUTRITION SCIENCE
◻ Change the serving size to reflect how consumers eat and drink today
◻ Require that packaged food, including beverages which are
typically consumed in one sitting be labeled as a single serving
⬜Display adjusted caloric and nutrient content
◻ Certain packets that are larger and may be consumed in 1 or more
sitting will have a “dual column” Nutrition Facts label
⬜Nutrition facts per servings
⬜Nutrition facts per package
UPDATED SERVING SIZE REQUIREMENTS & NEW LABELING REQUIREMENTS
◻ Make calories and serving size more prominent
◻ Shirt the Percent Daily Value to the left of the label
◻ Change footnote to more clearly explain the meaning of Present Daily Value
REFRESHED DESIGN
