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
