or drink additional foods high
in calcium to meet the other
75% of their daily need. The
%DV is based on a sample
daily diet of 2,000 calories.
Calorie needs obviously vary
from person to person. To
help set nutrient goals and
personalize DVs, shoppers
need to consider how many
calories they ty p ic a lly eat.
Take an active athlete for ex
ample. They likely eat more
than 2000 calories so their
%DV is a bit more liberated
than what appears on the la
bel. An elderly woman how
ever, may eat less than 2000
calories and needs to remem
ber that the %DV over-esti
mates her needs.
• If I eat one food w ith a
30% DV for fat, does that
mean I have met the recom
mended amount of dietary
No. M ost pe op le have
probably heard of the dietary
guidelines for “less than 30
percent of calories from fat.”
That guideline refers to the
total diet over time and not in
dividual food choices. Shop
pers need to se le ct foods
based on a total package of
nutrients, not just the %DV
for fat. Remember, foods with
high and low %DV for fat bal
ance each other as part of a
total diet that meets nutrition
recommendations.
• How can I use the new
food label to help improve
my diet?
Use the food label to make
sensible choices in selecting
foods. Start with a quick scan
of the front of the package.
Check for claims such as “re
duced-calorie,” “low salt" or

“fat free.” These claims indi
cate products that can help
lower the intake of calories,
sodium or fat. Limiting your
choices to only foods with
such claim s, however, can
lead to unnecessary restric
tions in the diet. Keep an eye
out for words such as “high”
or “good source” to help lo
cate foods with some needed
nutrients like calcium , iron
and dietary fiber.
Each year there are thou
sands of new products on the
grocery store shelves. While
the label doesn’t tell whether
or not it tastes good, it cer
tainly can help shoppers de
cide if it has the “good-for-
you” nutrients needed. The
new labels do give consis
tent, reliable information on
which to base a healthful de
cision.
