Abstract
Food labels provide the information needed to guide the selection of foods that will help individuals meet nutrition and health goals. Food labels are only valuable if one knows how to use them. This chapter contains key information necessary to best utilize the information contained on food labels and reviews key nutrients and the food groups contributing those nutrients to the diet. In addition, this chapter reviews health claims that may be made on packaging and their definitions. Suggested revisions to the food label are also discussed.
