Selina Size up servings • The number of servings per container and the serving size is more promi- much sugar has been added to the product. Vitamin D and potassium also are required on the label because Americans do not always get the recommended amounts. Vitamins A and C are no longer required since deficiencies of these vitamins are rare today. Tip: Use the label to choose products that are lower in nutrients you want to get less of (i.e., saturated fat, trans fat, sodium and added sugars) and higher in nutrients you want to get more of (i.e., dietary fiber, vitamin D, calcium, iron and potassium). And aim for less than 10 percent of your total daily calories from added sugars. nent on the label and serving sizes also have been updated to reflect what people actually eat and drink today. Tip: Always check the serving size to determine how many calories and nutrients you are consuming. The nutrition informationn listed on the Nutrition Facts label is usually based on one serving of the food. Calories are important to achieve or maintain a healthy weight, so the new label emphasizes calories with larger and bolder type. Calories from fat will no longer be listed because research shows the type of fat consumed is more important than the amount. Tip: 100 calories per serving is moder- ate and 400 calories per serving is high. When you’ll see it Manufacturers will need to use the new label by July 26, 2018, and small businesses will have an additional year to comply. During this transition time, you will see the current Nutrition Facts label or the new label on products.

The Daily Values are amounts of nutrients to consume or not to exceed each day and are used to calculate the % Daily Value (%DV). The %DV makes it easy for consumers to tell how much a nutrient in a serv- ing of food contributes to a daily diet. Tip: 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is low and 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is high. • C o n s u m e r s : 8 8 8 - SA F E F O O D (toll-free) fda.gov/Food/IngredientsPackag- ingLabeling/LabelingNutrition/ ucm537159.htm fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/ GuidanceDocumentsRegulatory- Information/LabelingNutrition/ ucm385663.htm • • Choose nutrients wisely • ® Added sugars is now required on the label to help consumers know how Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics – eatright.org The New and Improved Nutrition Facts Label – Key Changes Siletz Tribal Youth Council Meeting The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has finalized a new Nutrition Facts label for packaged foods that will make it easier for you to make informed food choices that support a healthy diet.
