The New Nutrition Facts Label , The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has updated the Nutrition Facts label on packaged foods and drinks.
This is the first major update to the label in over 20 years.
The serving size now appears in larger, bold font and some serving sizes have been updated.
Calories are now displayed in larger, bolder font.
Daily Values have been updated.
Added sugars, vitamin D, and potassium are now listed. Manufactures must declare the amount in addition to percent Daily Value for vitamins and minerals.
Servings per container and serving size information appear in large, bold font. NOTE: The serving size is not a recommendation of how much to eat.
The nutrition information listed on the Nutrition Facts label is usually based on one serving of the food; however some containers may also have information displayed per package.
One package of food may contain more than one serving.
The percent Daily Value (%DV) shows how much a nutrient in a serving of food contributes to a total daily diet
The footnote at the bottom of the label has been updated to better explain %DV.
Calories from fat has been removed because research shows the type of fat consumed is more important than the amount.
Vitamin A and C are no longer required on the label.These nutrients can be included on a voluntary basis
Added sugars have been added to the label. Added sugars include sugars that are added during the processing of foods (such as sucrose or dextrose), foods packaged as sweeteners (such as table sugar), sugars from syrups and honey, and sugars from concentrated fruit or vegetable juices.
Calcium and iron will continue to be listed on the label.
